FAQs

How do I check text size online?

Paste or type your text into the box above — character count (with and without spaces), word count, sentence count, paragraphs, lines, byte size, and estimated reading/speaking time all calculate instantly, with nothing uploaded to a server.

What counts as "text size" — words, characters, or bytes?

This tool measures all three: character count (with and without spaces), word count, and the actual byte size of the text (useful for checking limits in databases, APIs, or file uploads), alongside sentence, paragraph, and line counts.

Does the reading time estimate account for different reading speeds?

It uses an average adult reading speed (roughly 200-250 words per minute); actual reading time will vary by individual and text complexity.
