Built for Sellers
& Creators.
CharWise is a free, no-login character counter built specifically for Etsy sellers and social media creators. Stop guessing character limits. Stop getting your listings or captions cut off. Just type, check, and go.
Why We Built This
Every platform has its own character limits and they all matter. An Etsy title that's too long gets truncated in search results. An Instagram caption that buries the hook loses engagement. A YouTube title that runs over gets cut off in recommendations.
Most character counters are generic. They count. That's it. CharWise was built by someone who sells on Etsy and creates content daily, so it's designed around the real fields you actually write, with the specific limits and tips that matter.
No sign-up. No premium tier for basic features. No nonsense. Just a fast, clean tool that does exactly what you need.

What Makes CharWise Different
- Platform-specific fields — not just a generic text box
- Smart tips for each field (e.g. how many chars actually show in search results)
- Live color-coded progress bar so you know at a glance where you stand
- Word count AND character count simultaneously
- Works entirely in your browser — your text never leaves your device
- Zero sign-up, zero cost, zero ads on the tool itself
- Full platform limits reference chart at the bottom of every page
Completely Free — Always
CharWise will always be free to use. The site is supported by non-intrusive display advertising through Google AdSense. Your text is never collected, sold, or stored — it stays entirely in your browser.
If CharWise saves you time, the best thing you can do is bookmark it and share it with a fellow seller or creator. That's it.
