Word & Character Counter

About this tool

The word and character counter tallies your text as you type and checks it against the field limits Shopify actually enforces. Meta titles get cut off around 60 characters in Google results, meta descriptions around 160, and the product title field caps at 255. Pick a preset and the bar turns red the moment you go over.

Merchants reach for this while writing product titles, meta descriptions, or collection copy and need to know the text will fit before pasting it into Shopify or an SEO app. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded or saved.

Frequently asked questions

What is the character limit for a Shopify meta title?

Google usually shows about 60 to 70 characters of a title before cutting it off with an ellipsis. Keep the words that matter in the first 60.

Does the counter include spaces?

Yes. The character count treats spaces and line breaks as characters, which matches how Google and Shopify measure field length.

Is my text sent anywhere?

No. All counting happens locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored.
