How this is calculated
Words are counted by trimming the text and splitting on any run of whitespace, characters use the raw string length, characters without spaces strip all whitespace, and lines are counted by splitting on newline characters.
How to use

- Read the live counts below the input.
- Counts update instantly as you edit.
Examples

FAQ
- How are words counted?
- Text is trimmed and split on any run of whitespace, so multiple spaces between words still count as one separator.
- Does it count spaces as characters?
- The character count includes spaces. A separate "characters (no spaces)" count excludes all whitespace.
- Is my text uploaded anywhere?
- No. Counting happens locally in your browser, your text is never sent to a server.
