How to use
Measure the same text six ways so a visible character, a word boundary, and a stored UTF-8 byte are never treated as the same limit.
- 1Type or paste the text whose length you need to measure.
- 2Compare characters, characters without spaces, words, lines, paragraphs, and UTF-8 bytes.
- 3Edit the source while watching each total update against the limit used by your destination.
- 4Copy the six-value summary when needed, or clear the source to start a new count.
Technical background
Characters use Unicode code points, characters without spaces exclude Unicode whitespace, and UTF-8 bytes come from TextEncoder. Word totals use Intl.Segmenter when available, with a Unicode letter-and-number fallback.
Use cases
Check social bios, metadata, form fields, translations, database columns, SMS drafts, and any workflow with a character or byte limit.
Privacy and security
The text and computed summary stay in the current browser session. Review the source before copying a summary that may reveal private draft content.
