Community Post Character Counter — Stay Under 3,500
Paste a Community tab post and see its character count against YouTube's ~3,500 limit — words, remaining budget, a progress bar, and over-limit alerts.
Community Post Character Counter
See exactly how long your community tab post is — characters, words, and room left before the composer limit.
Introduction
The Community tab is one of the most underused bridges between a channel and its audience. A single well-timed poll or update can re-engage thousands of subscribers — but only if the post actually publishes. YouTube caps Community posts at roughly 3,500 characters, and past that edit your text risks being cut off or rejected at upload. The Thumbix Community Post Character Counter pastes your post, counts characters and words, and shows the remaining budget on a live progress bar — so you catch an over-limit post before it ever reaches the tab.

What Is This Tool?
A Community Post Character Counter takes the text of a YouTube Community tab post and measures it against YouTube's ~3,500-character limit. It reports character count, word count, remaining budget, and a progress bar, and flags when a post is over the limit.
It is the fastest way to know whether your update, poll, or announcement will publish cleanly.
How Does It Work?
The counter is simple and transparent:
- It counts the characters and words in your post live.
- It compares against the ~3,500-character limit.
- It shows a progress bar and remaining budget.
- It flags over-limit posts for trimming.
Everything happens locally — no server, no account.
The counting is live and instant, so you see exactly how each edit changes your numbers. Add a sentence, drop an emoji, or paste a link, and the character total, word count, and progress bar all update together.
