How it works
Paste or type your text above and every count updates immediately — no button to press. It's built for quick checks against character limits on forms, bios, captions, or SMS messages, where you often need to know the count both with and without spaces.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the character count include spaces?
- The main character count includes spaces. A separate "Characters (no spaces)" count is shown alongside it if you need the count without spaces — useful for platforms with strict character limits.
- Does this tool store or upload my text?
- No. Everything is counted in your browser as you type — nothing is sent anywhere.
- How accurate is the sentence and paragraph count?
- Sentences are counted by looking for periods, question marks, and exclamation points that end a clause, and paragraphs by blank lines between blocks of text. This is a reasonable approximation, not a full linguistic parser — abbreviations or unusual formatting can occasionally throw off the count.
- Does it handle Unicode text, like accents or emoji?
- Yes — the counts work correctly with accented letters, non-Latin scripts, and emoji.
