{ } How to use

  1. Paste or type your text.
  2. Select Process to see the counts.

{ } How it works

Text Counter works on the text you provide. Select Process ▸ and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server — then shows the result in the Output panel.

Input

  • Text input — paste or type your input in the left panel (use Sample for an example)

Output

TXT text — copy or download it from the Output panel.

{ } Common uses

  • Check a description against a length limit for search results or a social post.
  • Measure a draft against a word count.
  • See how many bytes a string will actually cost.

{ } Limitations

  • A word is any run of characters with no space in it, so "end." counts as one and so does a hyphenated-compound.
  • Characters are counted the way the browser stores them, so an emoji or another character outside the basic range counts as two. The UTF-8 byte count is reported separately, and that is the figure a database column or an HTTP header limit cares about.

{ } FAQ

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.

Can I process more than one file at once?

This tool works on one input at a time.

Is this tool free?

Yes — it’s completely free and needs no sign-up.

Which number matches a post or meta-description limit?

Usually Characters. Byte limits — database columns, HTTP headers — use the UTF-8 figure instead, and the two diverge as soon as the text is not plain ASCII.
