About Character Counter
This Character Counter page is organised around the task described in the tool interface. Count characters, letters, numbers and more. The result changes when the source data or selected options change, so it is easy to run a second comparison.
One useful scenario is to clean a draft, check a length limit, or prepare consistent text before pasting it into another system. Start with a representative input, inspect the first result, then adjust one setting at a time if you need a different outcome.
Processing stays in the browser where the individual feature supports it. Live public checks use a protected, rate-limited site endpoint; avoid unnecessary sensitive data.
