How are characters and lines counted?

Words use English Unicode word segmentation. Characters count visible graphemes, so a family emoji is one character. Whitespace is included unless the label says otherwise. Empty text has zero lines; a trailing line break adds an empty line. CRLF counts as one line break. UTF-8 bytes measure file size.

Input: 1 MB of UTF-8 text. Output: 2 MB. Processing stops after five seconds. A limit produces an error, not a shortened result.

Guide

Count the text you enter and see how the totals change as you edit. Use the separate counts to distinguish words, characters and lines when checking a length requirement.

Add your text
Paste into Input, choose an example or select Open file. You can also drop one UTF-8 text file into Input.
Read the counts
Output shows words, visible characters, lines and UTF-8 bytes. The counts update as you type.
Keep the result
Use Copy output or Download above the fields. The main button runs the operation again. Clear removes the input.

On mobile, choose Output to read the result. Clear removes both fields.

Counts

Words: count words using English Unicode word segmentation.
Characters: count visible characters, including whitespace. A combined family emoji counts as one.
Characters without whitespace: exclude spaces, tabs and line breaks.
Lines: empty input has zero lines; a final line break adds an empty line.
UTF-8 bytes (Unicode Transformation Format, 8-bit): measure encoded text size, which can exceed the visible character count.

Shortcuts

Ctrl / Cmd + Enter — Run selected action
Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + C — Copy output
Ctrl / Cmd + S — Download output
? — Show shortcuts outside text fields

Shortcuts work while focus is in the workspace. Copy and download need valid output.
