Word & Character Counter
Paste or type your text to see words, characters, sentences and reading time instantly, plus whether it fits on X, Instagram, TikTok or a text message.
What “stays on your device” means for this tool
When you open this page, your browser downloads the text tools themselves, the same way any web page loads. From then on, counting, converting and font-changing all happen inside your browser, on your own device. What you type is never sent to this website’s server or to anyone else.
Nothing is kept. Close the tab and your text is gone. (Only the fonts you star as favorites are remembered, in this browser.)
How fancy fonts work: they aren't really fonts. They're special symbols that already exist in every phone and computer, such as the "mathematical bold" letters. That's why they survive copy and paste. Some screen readers for blind users read them oddly or not at all, and search engines may not match them, so use them for decoration, not for important information.
What the server does see: like any website, the server that delivers this page sees basic connection details such as your IP address and which page was requested. Never your text.
Visit counting: this site counts visits with privacy-friendly analytics. No cookies, no ads, no tracking across other sites, and your IP address is not stored. It records which page you opened, your country, your device type, how long you stayed and when you download a result, never the file or anything in it.
That's every style. Click any of them to copy it; ★ keeps your favorites at the top. "Partial" styles only have some letters; the rest stay normal.
Changes the text in the box. Undo puts it back.
Limits as of 2026; sites change them occasionally. X counts emoji and most fancy-font letters as 2 characters each.
