About Character & Word Counter
Knowing the exact length of text matters for tweets, meta descriptions, form limits and storage. This tool reports total characters, characters excluding spaces, word count, line count and the UTF-8 byte size, all updating live as you type. It runs entirely in your browser.
FAQ
Does it count bytes or characters?
Both — it shows character count and the UTF-8 byte size, which differ for non-ASCII text.
Is the word count accurate for any language?
It counts whitespace-separated tokens, which works for most space-delimited languages.
Does it update live?
Yes, all counts recalculate as you type.
