What this tool does
Check the size of a draft, note or data sample before sharing it. The counter reports whitespace-separated words, characters including spaces, characters excluding whitespace, total lines and non-empty lines. It updates as you type. These counts are useful for everyday editing, but a platform with its own counting rules may report a different total.
How to use it
Paste or type your text. Read the word, character and line totals. Copy or download the count report if needed.
Example
Hello world
This example has two whitespace-separated words.
How are emoji and words counted?
Characters are counted as Unicode code points, not visual grapheme clusters. Words are whitespace-separated tokens, so languages without spaces may need a different counter.
Where is my text processed?
The bundled tool code processes text in your browser. It does not send or save your input. Extensions and other site plugins may have separate behavior.
