Word Counter for Framer forms

Text area with a live word count

Add a text area with a live word or character counter to your native Framer form.

The counter under the field shows how much the visitor has written, for example 12 / 200 words. Set a maximum and, if you like, a minimum. At the maximum the field can either stop further input, or let the visitor keep typing while the counter turns red and the form cannot be sent until the text is shortened.

What your form receives

The full text under the field name you set.

It is part of the native Framer form submission, so it goes wherever your form sends: email, Google Sheets, webhooks, or FramerSend connectors.

Example submission
{
  "Name": "Amelia Hart",
  "Email": "amelia@studio.co",
  "Message": "We are a small design studio in Lisbon. We need a new portfolio site with a contact form."
}
