Why Use a Character Counter?

Different platforms have strict text limits. Knowing your character or word count helps you stay within those limits without guessing:

How to Use

Just paste or type your text in the box above. All stats update instantly. Use the Copy button to copy your text, Clear to reset (your text is saved to History automatically), and the History button to restore any previous session.

Letter Density

The Letter Density section shows how often each letter appears in your text and what percentage of the total it makes up. This is useful for writers, cryptographers, and anyone analyzing writing patterns.

Top Words

The Top Words section shows the most repeated single words, 2-word phrases, and 3-word phrases in your text. It helps you spot overused words and improve the quality of your writing.

Undo & Redo

Made a mistake? Use the Undo and Redo buttons in the toolbar, or use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + Z to undo and Ctrl + Y to redo — same as any text editor.
