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.
