Before you start
Count pasted text by Unicode code points, UTF-16 units, grapheme clusters, Latin-letter English words, Han characters, lines, paragraphs and UTF-8 bytes. These measures differ for emoji and mixed-language text; no publisher-specific word count is implied.
How to use this tool
- Paste content into “Text”, or load the example to try it.
- Check your input, then select “Count text”.
- Read the labeled counts and copy a value or the full JSON summary. Compare the required counting rule with your destination's own limit.
Supported inputs and limits
Pasted text is limited to 1 MiB; review the result before using it.

Paste at most 1 MiB of text. If you need the count accepted by a publisher or document editor, follow that system's counting rules and check the full document there; this tool only counts pasted text.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded?
No. Files and tool input are processed in your browser. Moving around the site can keep a temporary workspace in the same tab. Refreshing or closing the tab clears it, so download results you want to keep.
What should I check in this result?
English words count Latin-letter runs; Han characters are separate. Emoji can be several code points but one visible grapheme. A publisher or word processor may count a manuscript differently, especially tables, notes and other document content.
