FAQ
Which character counter should I use?
Use Character Counter for the main characters, bytes, and lines tool. Use Character Count for the common search phrase and Letter Counter when the limit is based on letters rather than words.
Does the character counter upload my text?
No. The character counter tools are designed to run locally in your browser after the page loads.
Will the count match every platform?
Not always. Platforms may count emoji, spaces, punctuation, line breaks, CJK text, bytes, or hidden formatting differently. These tools are quick plain-text references.
