Browser-based character counter
Count characters in essays, social posts, meta descriptions, and form fields as you type. Counting runs locally and updates instantly, with a separate count that excludes all whitespace.
Text you type or paste is processed locally in your browser. It is never uploaded to oddkit's servers.
Common use cases
- Check text length against a character limit before submitting
- Compare character counts with and without spaces
- Count multi-byte characters like emoji correctly
FAQ
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Counting happens entirely locally in your browser as you type.
How is "without spaces" calculated?
All whitespace characters — spaces, tabs, and line breaks — are removed before counting.
Does it count emoji correctly?
Yes. Counting uses Unicode code points, so multi-byte characters like emoji count as a single character.
