Runs locally in your browser — nothing you type is sent anywhere.

Tips from how Word & Character Counter actually works, and mistakes worth avoiding.
Pro tips
- Keep a working copy of your input before running a destructive operation — undo is a browser back-button, not a history stack.
- When something looks wrong, check the start of the input first — most parsing errors cascade from one early character.
- Bookmark this page. It is a static URL with no login, so it works the same way every time you need it.
Common mistakes
- Assuming a paid tool would give a more "official" result — the underlying parsing logic is the same either way.
- Not checking for trailing commas, smart quotes, or copy-pasted invisible characters — the most common source of a confusing error.
- Working directly on the only copy of an important file instead of a duplicate.
