String Inspector — Analyze Text Statistics Online

String Inspector provides detailed statistics for any text: character count (with and without spaces), word count, line count, sentence count, paragraph count, UTF-8 byte size, ASCII vs non-ASCII character counts, unique characters, and top 5 most frequent words.

Common Use Cases

Checking character count for social media post limits
Counting words in a draft article or essay
Analysing byte size of a string for database column sizing
Checking for non-ASCII characters in international text

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the byte count different from the character count?

Characters are counted as Unicode code points. Byte count (UTF-8) counts the number of bytes needed to encode the string in UTF-8. Non-ASCII characters (emoji, accented letters, CJK characters) use 2–4 bytes each.
