Frequently asked questions
How does this page count words?
Words are counted by trimming the text, then splitting on whitespace. Consecutive spaces, tabs, or newlines count as one split. Empty or whitespace-only text is 0 words.
How does this page count characters?
The primary character count is JavaScript string length, which counts UTF-16 code units. A code-point count ([...text].length) is also shown. Characters excluding spaces omit the U+0020 space character only. This is not a grapheme-cluster or locale word-break count.
Is there a separate character counter page?
No. Character count is on this same page, together with word count and line count. There is no /character-counter-online/ URL.
Is counting client-side? Is text uploaded?
Counting runs in your browser. Text is not uploaded and is not sent to a server. There is no signup. Refreshing the page clears the form.
How are lines counted?
Lines are counted by splitting on the newline character. Empty input is 0 lines. A single line without a newline is 1 line.
Is there a size limit?
Yes. Input larger than 100KB (100 × 1024 UTF-8 bytes) is rejected. Nothing is sent to a server either way.
