Word counter and text statistics

Paste text to count characters, words, lines, sentences and UTF-8 bytes instantly.

01

Characters with and without spaces

The character count includes spaces and punctuation. The no-spaces count removes spaces, line breaks and other whitespace.

02

Words, lines and sentences

Words are counted as letter or number sequences. Lines follow line breaks, while sentences recognize common English and CJK ending punctuation.

03

UTF-8 bytes

The byte count estimates the size of the text when encoded as UTF-8, which can differ from the visible character count.
