Workflow

Measure text size

Use the main form when you want counts for a piece of copy.

  1. Paste the text into the input field.
  2. Run the counter to see words, characters, and lines.
  3. Copy the stats or tweak the text and run it again.

What you get

Check the result before you copy it into the next step

Word count

A plain count helps you spot overlong copy quickly.

Character and line counts

These values help with limits, QA, and formatting checks.

Avoid these mistakes

Small input problems create the biggest conversion errors

Counting the wrong block

Make sure the pasted text is the exact block you want measured.

Ignoring line breaks

Use the line count when spacing matters.
