Text tools

Quick, reliable tools for writers, students, marketers and anyone who works with text: count words and characters, estimate reading time, clean up pasted text, sort or de-duplicate lists, compare two versions of a document and extract emails, links or numbers.

Every text tool updates instantly as you type and works offline once loaded. Nothing you paste is stored or sent anywhere, so you can safely work with drafts, customer lists or confidential notes.

Counting rules follow common conventions: words are sequences of letters or digits separated by spaces or punctuation, and characters are counted as user-perceived characters, so emoji and accented letters count as one.

Frequently asked questions

Is my text saved?

No. Text stays in your browser tab and disappears when you close it.

Do the tools support languages other than English?

Yes. Counting and cleaning work with any Unicode text, including accented Latin, Arabic, Cyrillic and CJK scripts.
