FAQ

Does it count spaces as characters?
Yes, the main character count includes spaces. The "characters (no spaces)" metric excludes them.
Why do bytes differ from characters?
ASCII characters use 1 byte each, but emoji and many non-Latin scripts (Korean, Chinese, Japanese) can use 2–4 bytes per character. Byte count matters for database storage and API payloads.
Is there a text length limit?
No — you can paste very long text and the counter will still work correctly.
