Frequently Asked Questions
How do I count characters in text?
Simply paste or type your text into the input box. All statistics update in real-time as you type.
What is the difference between characters and characters without spaces?
Characters include all symbols, letters, numbers, and spaces. Characters without spaces excludes all whitespace.
How are words counted?
Words are counted by splitting text on whitespace boundaries. Each contiguous block of non-whitespace characters counts as one word.
How are sentences detected?
Sentences are detected by splitting on period, exclamation mark, and question mark characters followed by a space or end of text.
What counts as a paragraph?
A paragraph is any block of text separated by one or more blank lines (double newlines).
How are bytes calculated?
Bytes are calculated using UTF-8 encoding. Multi-byte characters like emojis or CJK characters count as 3-4 bytes each.
Is there a character limit?
No practical limit. The tool can handle very large texts (millions of characters) without performance issues.
Is my text stored anywhere?
No. All processing is done locally in your browser. No data is sent to any server.
