About this tool
Count words, characters, and lines in text. Quick payload size checks, text cleanup, and deploy prep during development.
Paste or type the text you want to measure. Read character, word, and line counts (with and without spaces). Example — Short sentence stats: try `Hello world from codefunc` and expect something like `Characters: 26 Characters (no spaces): 23 Words: 4 Lines: 1`.
Word splitting is whitespace-based — CJK text without spaces undercounts “words”. See also: Case Converter, and Lorem Ipsum Generator. Runs in your browser — nothing you paste gets uploaded.
How to use
- Paste or type the text you want to measure.
- Read character, word, and line counts (with and without spaces).
- Use the totals for meta descriptions, tweet drafts, or form limits.
- Trim or expand copy until you hit the target length.
