Character Counter for print

Most texts you work with don't justify opening Word. Character Counter is for the in-between cases — paste, transform, paste back. Browser-local, no signup, no character limits.

Launch the tool: Character Counter — Runs entirely on your device using open web standards.

Character Counter for print layout

Print spaces are unforgiving. A column estimate that turns into one extra line forces a layout do-over. Character Counter gives you the count before you commit to a layout, so you can edit copy down to fit rather than re-flowing the whole document.

No upload, no signup, no daily limit.

Frequently asked questions

Can I trust the count for assignment / SEO purposes?

Character Counter matches the published Unicode standard. Cross-check against the tool of record (Word, your CMS) if that's what's being graded against.

Is there a length limit?

Practically, several MB of text. Beyond that the browser starts to lag.

Will Character Counter work offline?

Yes — once the page loads, processing happens locally with no further network calls.

Does Character Counter save my text?

No. Character Counter processes everything in your browser; nothing is uploaded or stored.
