Find & Replace for SEO — meta descriptions, titles, alt text
Why every SEO checks character counts with Find & Replace before publishing. Browser-based, free, no signup, runs entirely on your device.
Most texts you work with don't justify opening Word. Find & Replace is for the in-between cases — paste, transform, paste back. Browser-local, no signup, no character limits.
Use the tool: Find & Replace — Browser-only. Nothing is sent to a server.
Find & Replace for SEO writing
Search-friendly copy lives or dies on character counts. Title tags get truncated at ~60 characters. Meta descriptions cap around 155-160. Twitter posts at 280, LinkedIn at 3000, Instagram at 2200. Find & Replace sits next to your editor and counts in real time so you don't accidentally publish a title that gets cut off mid-sentence.

Frequently asked questions
Does Find & Replace save my text?
No. Find & Replace processes everything in your browser; nothing is uploaded or stored.
Does Find & Replace count characters with or without spaces?
Find & Replace shows both counts simultaneously, so you can use whichever your target requires.
Can I trust the count for assignment / SEO purposes?
Find & Replace matches the published Unicode standard. Cross-check against the tool of record (Word, your CMS) if that's what's being graded against.
Will Find & Replace work offline?
Yes — once the page loads, processing happens locally with no further network calls.
