Discord character limit counter
Discord enforces a different character cap for every field — 2,000 for a message, 32 for a username, 4,096 for an embed description — and hitting any of them silently blocks or truncates your text. This live counter lets you pick the field, type or paste, and watch a colour-coded count so you trim before Discord does it for you.
How it works
The tool stores the real per-field limit for each Discord text slot and counts
your input by Unicode code points (so emoji and accented characters are measured
the way Discord measures them). The count is shown as used / limit, the bar fills
proportionally, and the colour shifts: neutral while you have room, amber at
90% of the limit, and red once you exceed it, with the overflow amount called
out so you know exactly how much to cut.
Tips & notes
- Message limit is 2,000 (4,000 with Nitro); split longer posts into parts.
- Usernames are 2–32 chars, lowercase with
_and.only. - Embeds have many sub-limits and a 6,000-character total per message.
- Counting is by code points, matching how Discord treats emoji and symbols.
