Text Counter is a comprehensive text analysis tool that counts characters, words, sentences, paragraphs, and lines in real time. It also calculates byte sizes in UTF-8 and EUC-KR encodings, estimates reading and speaking time, and checks your text against social media character limits for platforms like Twitter/X, Instagram, YouTube, and KakaoTalk. Whether you are writing a tweet, optimizing SEO meta descriptions, or counting words for an assignment, this tool provides instant and accurate statistics.
Enter or paste text
Enter or copy and paste the text you want to analyze directly into the text input area.
Load file (optional)
If you have a text file, you can immediately load the file contents using the file loading function.
Check basic statistics
See key statistics in real time, including character count, word count, and line count, displayed at the top.
Check detailed statistics
In the detailed statistics section, check detailed analysis results such as Korean/English/number ratio, number of bytes, and reading time.
Check SNS restrictions
In the SNS Character Limits section, check whether your current text meets the character limits for each platform.
The count including spaces is the full length, including spaces, tabs, and other whitespace. The count excluding spaces measures only the text after removing those characters. Check which standard applies when calculating writing fees or platform character limits.
Depending on the encoding method, the number of bytes required to represent one character varies. In UTF-8, Korean is 3 bytes and English is 1 byte, and in EUC-KR, Korean is 2 bytes and English is 1 byte. When sending to a database or SMS, you must take into account byte limitations depending on the encoding.
In English, words separated by spaces are counted. Even in Korean, words are separated based on spaces. Punctuation marks or special characters are not included in words, and consecutive spaces are treated as one.
Reading time is estimated based on the average adult reading speed of approximately 200 words per minute (approximately 500 characters in Korean). Speaking time is calculated based on an average speech rate of approximately 130 words per minute. Actual times may vary from person to person.
