About these tools
Length limits are everywhere in publishing: a title tag that truncates around 60 characters, a meta description around 155, an ad headline at 30. The word counter shows characters, words, sentences and reading time as you type, so you can trim to fit before publishing rather than after.
The link shortener produces a compact URL for sharing in places where a long tracking-heavy link would be unreadable. Short links here expire automatically after seven days, which makes them right for campaigns and announcements rather than permanent references.
Frequently asked questions
How long do short links last?
Seven days from creation, after which the link stops resolving and the record is deleted.
Does the word counter include spaces?
It shows both counts — characters with and without spaces — because different platforms count differently.
How is reading time calculated?
From the word count, at roughly 200 words per minute, the usual average for adult silent reading.
