Count characters in your text with detailed breakdown. Set character limits and track your progress. All processing happens locally in your browser.
Tool Notes is a Supporter feature.
Enter your text in the text area. You can type directly or paste content from any source. The character counts update automatically as you type.
Enter a number in the Character Limit field to track your progress against a specific limit. A progress bar will show how close you are.
See real-time counts for total characters, characters without spaces, and unique characters in the statistics grid.
The total character count includes every character in your text, including spaces, punctuation, and special characters. This is calculated using the JavaScript string length property.
Characters without spaces are counted by using a regular expression to remove all whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, line breaks) and then counting the remaining length.
Unique characters are determined by converting the text to lowercase and adding each character to a Set data structure. The size of the set gives the count of unique characters.
When you set a character limit, the tool calculates the percentage used (current / limit * 100). The progress bar changes color at 90% (yellow) and 100% (red) to warn you.
The character counter uses JavaScript to count the length of your text. It provides both the total character count (including spaces) and the count without spaces for different use cases.
