Character counter

Counts update the moment you paste. Check length limits for essays, applications, and forms instantly.

What it counts

• Characters: total characters including spaces and line breaks — the metric most limits use.
• Without spaces: characters excluding all whitespace.
• Words: real word units via sentence analysis, not just space-splitting.
• Sentences & paragraphs: punctuation-based sentences and blank-line paragraphs.
• Bytes: UTF-8 size — for SMS and byte-limited form fields.

How to use it

Paste section by section while fitting a length limit. Text is counted entirely in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.
