No matter why, this kind of tool is always useful.
For Twitter messages, blog post titles, etc.
Many things have a maximum number of characters allowed.
Personally, I’m using this tool almost every day to make sure my blog posts titles stay under 60 characters, and that the main answer I give in my tutorials is under 300 characters. But you can also use it for social media, that’s why I include all the limits you need to know on this page.
