FAQ

What is the difference between character count and word count?

Character count tallies every single symbol, letter, punctuation, and whitespace, while word count measures individual separated words based on space delimitation.

Why count characters both with and without spaces?

Platforms like Twitter/X, SMS gateways, and academic publishing outlets have different constraints regarding whether spaces consume character limits.

Is my draft text stored or uploaded anywhere?

No. The character counting analysis runs instantly within your browser window using pure client-side code, guaranteeing complete privacy.
