About the Character Counter & Text Formatter
A handy tool for checking the length of your writing or prepping lists. As you type, it instantly tallies characters, words, lines, and bytes.
How each count is defined
- Characters: counts by code point, so emoji also count as one character.
- Characters (no spaces): the count with spaces, tabs, and line breaks removed.
- Words: the number of whitespace-separated chunks (best for English text).
- Bytes: the size when encoded as UTF-8 (Japanese characters are typically 3 bytes each).
Formatting features
Remove duplicate lines, delete blank lines, trim leading and trailing whitespace, sort lines ascending or descending, and switch case. Use “Send to input” to keep processing the result.
