Character Count
Count total characters, characters without spaces, lines, words, and bytes for pasted text in one place. It works well for essays, profile text, contact forms, and social posts, and the text stays in your browser instead of being sent to a server.

How to read the results
As you type, the tool shows total characters, characters without spaces, lines, paragraphs, words, UTF-8 bytes, and manuscript-page estimates.
Total characters reflect the full pasted text, which is useful when a form or assignment has a character limit.
Characters without spaces exclude spaces, tabs, and line breaks. Line and paragraph counts help you check readability and layout.
Word count is mainly for space-separated languages such as English. UTF-8 bytes and manuscript-page estimates are useful when you need system limits or rough page counts.
Ways to use it

How input data is handled
- Emoji and combined characters may not always match visual length exactly.
