About Text Tools
Word and character counting sounds trivial until you need it to match a specific limit — a 160 character meta description, a 2,200 character Instagram caption, a 500 word essay. Our counters show all of those at once, live, along with reading time and keyword density.
The cleanup tools solve real formatting problems: text pasted from a PDF with broken line breaks, lists with duplicate entries, double spaces after full stops, and non-breaking spaces that will not die.
Case conversion follows proper title-case rules rather than naively capitalising every word, so short prepositions and articles stay lowercase where style guides expect them to.
Text Tools FAQs
Do these tools work with any language?
Yes. Counting and cleanup use Unicode-aware rules, so accented Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew and CJK text are handled correctly. Word counting for CJK text falls back to character counts, which is the convention for those scripts.
Is my text stored or sent anywhere?
No. Text tools run entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste is uploaded, logged or saved on a server.
How is reading time calculated?
By dividing the word count by a reading speed you can adjust. The default is 225 words per minute, a commonly used average for adult silent reading of general prose.
Is there a length limit on the text I can paste?
The tools comfortably handle documents of several hundred thousand characters. Extremely large inputs are limited only by your browser memory.
