Characters (no spaces)

Counts every character except whitespace, spaces, tabs, and newlines are all excluded. Useful for keyword density checks and strict character limits.

Text input

COUNT

Runs entirely in your browser

How it works

The counting runs entirely in JavaScript in your browser tab. As you type or paste text, the counts update synchronously with no network request.

Processing runs in your browser

Your text is held only in browser memory. Closing the tab removes it entirely.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as whitespace?
Spaces, tabs (\t), and newline characters (\n, \r) are all excluded. All other characters, including punctuation and special symbols, are counted.
How is this different from the regular character count?
The regular character count includes all characters. This mode strips out any whitespace before counting, so 'hello world' would be 10 instead of 11.
When is a no-spaces count useful?
Some character limits (like certain SEO meta fields, legal documents, and translation pricing models) measure only printable characters. This mode gives that figure directly.
Is my text sent to a server?
All counting runs locally in your browser. Our servers are not involved at any point.
