How This Tool Works
100% Client-Side

Your data never leaves your device. All processing happens locally in your browser. No text is sent to any server, no data is stored, and no cookies track your usage.

Characters are counted using JavaScript's string length property. Spaces are removed using regex for the 'without spaces' count. Words are counted by splitting on whitespace boundaries.

  • Real-time updates as you type using input event listeners
  • Progress bar calculates percentage against selected platform limit
  • Visual warnings when approaching or exceeding limits
How to verify this yourself

Check your browser's Network tab to see nothing is sent:

  1. Open DevTools: Right-click anywhere on the page → "Inspect" (or press F12)
  2. Go to Network tab: Click "Network" at the top of the DevTools panel
  3. Use the tool: Type or paste text and watch the Network tab
  4. Verify: You'll see no requests to external servers — all processing is local

Works in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
