Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the character and byte counts different?
UTF-8 characters such as emoji and some accented letters can use several bytes, even when shown as a single visible character.
Does the counter update as I type?
Yes. Paste or edit text and the available counts update without submitting a file.
Can it help with character-limited forms?
Yes. Use the character count to check whether your draft fits a form or social media limit.
What is the difference between words and lines?
The word count estimates separated words, while the line count follows line breaks in the entered text.
