Text counter
Characters, words and bytes at a glance.
Let your ideas flow. We will count.
Characters are counted as visible symbols, including combined emoji. Words are separated by whitespace. Submission sites may count differently. Text is never transmitted or auto-saved.
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.
- Type or paste your text.
- Check characters, characters without whitespace, words, lines and bytes.
- Copy the text or download a text file if needed.
Good to know
Why can counts differ from another website?
