How to use this tool

  1. Paste or type your text in the field.
  2. Read the counters or apply a whitespace or case transformation.
  3. Undo the last transformation if needed, then copy your text.

How it works

Count words, characters and paragraphs, clean whitespace or change case. Your text is processed only in this browser.

Word counting uses the browser’s language-aware segmenter for French or English. Characters count grapheme clusters, so many combined accents and emoji count as one visible character. Paragraphs are separated by blank lines. Whitespace cleaning trims lines and collapses repeated spaces, while keeping paragraph breaks.

What to keep in mind

Results can differ from word processors and social networks that use other counting rules. The input limit is 100,000 UTF-16 code units. Punctuation-only segments are not words. The tool does not check grammar or meaning. Copying places text in your device clipboard, which may keep a history.

Frequently asked questions

Does an emoji count as one character?

The tool counts grapheme clusters. A joined emoji sequence is usually one character, even when it consists of several Unicode code points.

Why is my word count different elsewhere?

Apps use different rules for apostrophes, hyphens and scripts. This tool uses language-aware segmentation from your browser.

Can I undo cleaning or case changes?

Yes. Undo restores the text from before the most recent transformation. Typing again clears that undo step.

Is my pasted text stored?

No history is saved by this tool. Text stays in page memory until you clear or leave it; copied text may remain in the operating system clipboard.
