Frequently asked questions
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your text never leaves your device, and nothing is stored on our servers.
Are spaces counted as characters?
Yes, in the main count. We also show a separate count without spaces, which some forms and assignments require.
Are emoji counted correctly?
Yes. Each emoji counts as one character, the way you see it on screen.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It works in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android — there is no app to install.
