Character & Document Statistics Counter
Type, paste, or load TXT/MD/CSV files to check character counts and document statistics in real time, then save the current text as TXT.
LOCALYour original text is calculated locally in the browser and is not sent to or stored on a server.
LOCALText you type or load stays in this browser and is not sent to or stored on a server.
Type, paste, or drop a text file
You can also drop a TXT, MD, or CSV file anywhere in this workspace.

HOW TO USE
How to use
- 01
Type or paste text, or choose/drop a TXT, MD, or CSV file.
- 02
Review characters with and without spaces first, plus words, sentences, paragraphs, lines, bytes, and reading time.
- 03
Set character or word goals and reading speed when needed while continuing to edit the text.
- 04
Copy the statistics or download the current text as TXT, then use Clear all for a new task.
COUNTING GUIDE
Character & document statistics guide
From checking character limits to reviewing structure, bytes, reading time, file editing, and saving, these notes explain the tool in practical situations.Check character limits
Use the two character counts for resumes, blog drafts, posts, ad copy, and other text with length limits. Because submission rules vary, comparing both with-spaces and without-spaces counts is safer.
With vs. without spaces
The with-spaces count includes whitespace entered in the text. The without-spaces count removes Unicode whitespace such as spaces, tabs, and line breaks, so the same text can produce different totals.
Review document structure
Word, sentence, paragraph, and line counts help you see more than total length. They are useful for spotting overly long paragraphs, excessive line breaks, or uneven document structure.
Check UTF-8 bytes
Character count and storage or transmission size are different. Korean, English, emoji, and other characters can use different numbers of UTF-8 bytes, so byte-limited systems should be checked separately.
Use reading-time estimates
Reading time is a reference value calculated from the selected WPM. It helps estimate how long readers may need for blog posts, notices, scripts, and other content.
Load, edit, and save files
Choose or drag and drop TXT, MD, or CSV files to calculate them immediately. Loaded text remains editable, and the current content can be saved again as a UTF-8 TXT file.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Important notes
- Characters without spaces removes Unicode whitespace, including spaces, tabs, and line breaks, under the TOOLBOX definition.
- UTF-8 bytes can differ from UTF-16, UTF-32, database collations, or platform-specific counting rules.
- Reading time is only an estimate and varies by language, difficulty, and reader.
- For an official platform character limit, check that platform again before submitting.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01What is removed from the without-spaces count?+
Unicode whitespace such as spaces, tabs, and line breaks is removed before grapheme counting.
02Can it count Japanese words?+
On supported browsers, Intl.Segmenter provides locale-aware word boundaries that do not rely only on spaces.
03Which byte encoding is used?+
The tool counts UTF-8 encoded bytes and labels the value as UTF-8.
04Is the reading time exact?+
No. It is an estimate based on the selected reading speed.
05Is my text or uploaded file sent to a server?+
No. Typed text and TXT, MD, or CSV files are read and calculated locally in your browser and are not sent to the server or Analytics.
