Frequently asked questions
Will Character Counter work offline?
Yes — once the page loads, processing happens locally with no further network calls.
Does Character Counter count characters with or without spaces?
Character Counter shows both counts simultaneously, so you can use whichever your target requires.
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.
