TOOLCAT GUIDE

Getting started

Count characters with and without whitespace, words, lines and UTF-8 bytes for free. Text stays in your browser and is not uploaded or automatically saved.

  1. Type or paste your text.
  2. Check characters, characters without whitespace, words, lines and bytes.
  3. Copy the text or download a text file if needed.

Good to know

Why can counts differ from another website?

Visible characters such as emoji are counted as single graphemes. Words are separated by whitespace, and bytes use UTF-8. A submission site may count characters or words differently.
