Count characters without a signup
For captions, form fields, metadata, applications, and other length-limited writing, character count is most useful when it is immediate. Toolkit's counter runs in the browser and does not require an account.
Free utility
Free Character Counter
Paste text into Toolkit's local Word Counter to see characters, words, lines, and estimated reading time without uploading the text to a server.
Check words and lines at the same time
Character limits often sit beside word limits or layout constraints. The same utility reports words and lines so you do not need a separate tool for each basic measurement.
Use the count as a constraint, not a writing goal
A shorter message is not automatically clearer. Use the number to meet the real limit, then edit for meaning and readability.
