About Character Counter

When a word counter isn't granular enough, you need a character-level breakdown. This tool tracks six stats simultaneously as you type or paste: total characters (raw string length), characters excluding all whitespace, letters only (a-z A-Z matched by regex), digits only (0-9), space characters specifically, and line count (newline splits). All six update with every keystroke — no button to click. The distinction between 'Characters' and 'No Spaces' matters for platforms like Twitter that count every character including spaces, versus SMS systems that charge per 160-character segment of printable characters. The Letters stat is useful for language analysis tasks where you want to exclude punctuation and numbers. The Lines count helps when working with CSV files, code snippets, or any line-delimited data where you need to know the row count before processing. Everything runs locally in your browser — no paste limit, no sign-up.
