Quick Tool Overview

The Character Counter without Spaces counts the characters in your text with every space, tab and line break excluded — the "excluding spaces" figure that universities, journals and many competition briefs specify. Both readings are shown, so you never have to subtract one number from another.

About the Character Counter without Spaces

Academic and publishing limits are usually written "excluding spaces", because a space is not something you wrote — it is punctuation between the things you wrote. Journals set abstract limits this way, and so do many universities. This counter reports that figure directly, so you are not doing arithmetic on two numbers from another tool.

Everything the Unicode standard treats as whitespace is excluded: ordinary spaces, tabs, line breaks and the non-breaking spaces that arrive invisibly when you paste out of a web page. Letters, digits, punctuation and emoji all count, since those are characters you chose to put on the page.

Key features of the Character Counter without Spaces

Every kind of whitespace excluded

Spaces, tabs, line breaks and invisible Unicode spaces such as the non-breaking space are all left out of the total.

Punctuation still counts

Commas, brackets and quotation marks are characters you wrote, so they stay in the figure — which is how academic limits are defined.

Both figures at once

The with-spaces count sits beside the headline number, so one tool answers both versions of the question.

Limit tracking

Enter the cap from your brief and the tool shows the remaining allowance and turns red once you pass it.

Nothing is uploaded

Unpublished research and graded work are counted in your own browser and never sent anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Ordinary spaces, tab characters, line breaks, carriage returns and the Unicode whitespace characters such as the non-breaking space (U+00A0) and the narrow no-break space. All of them are excluded from the headline figure.
