Check Text Statistics
Measure the size and composition of plain text with counts for words, characters, lines, symbols, and UTF-8 bytes.
It is useful for writing limits, metadata checks, prompt sizing, content audits, and any workflow where text length needs to be verified before use.
Review both simple totals and more specific breakdowns such as punctuation, special characters, and non-whitespace length in one place.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is this text statistics tool best for?
- Use it when you need quick length and composition checks for plain text, such as word count, character count, line count, or byte size.
- Paste the text, click Analyze Text, and review the metrics table to see how long and how dense the content is.
- This is useful for drafts, meta descriptions, social copy, imported datasets, prompt sizing, and basic validation before publishing or uploading text.
- What exactly is counted in the results table?
- The table separates total characters, letters, numbers, punctuation, symbols, non-whitespace length, total lines, word count, and UTF-8 byte size.
- That makes it useful when you need more than a basic word counter and want to understand the makeup of the text itself.
- Each metric is calculated from the pasted plain text. Windows and Mac line breaks are treated the same way.
- How are whitespace, words, and byte size handled?
- Total Characters includes spaces and line breaks. Characters Without Spaces leaves those out.
- Word Count is based on whitespace-separated tokens, and Total Lines includes empty lines as real lines in the count.
- Byte Size uses UTF-8 encoding, so emojis and many non-ASCII characters can take more than one byte each.
- Which edge cases are worth knowing about?
- Empty input shows zero for every row, which makes it easy to confirm that the text was cleared.
- Whitespace-based word counting means hyphenated words and contractions may behave differently from style-guide or linguistic definitions of a word.
- Very large text blocks still run locally in the browser, so older devices may take longer to calculate the full set of metrics.
- How is this different from Analyze Word Frequency?
- Check Text Statistics answers quantity questions such as how many words, characters, lines, or bytes a text contains.
- Analyze Word Frequency answers distribution questions such as which terms appear most often and how repeated wording is spread through the text.
- Choose this page when length and composition matter more than per-word ranking.
