Character Counter Online

PicoToolkit is much more than a simple char counter!

Our editor lets you quickly calculate the number of characters in any text, but it is not the only purpose of our tool. Apart from basic statistics about character frequency in the text, our editor allows you to perform mass modifications of large blocks of text.

The functionality of this free character counter

Count the total number of characters

The most basic yet most useful feature. It allows you to make sure you won't exceed the particular character limit. Just type your sentence, and the tool will display the character count as you write.

Find the longest line of text.

If you wish to find the longest line in the text, you could quickly sort all lines by length.

Strip HTML and unwanted characters

If you wish to find the length of the texts without unnecessary characters, you could either strip HTML tags or unwanted spaces. For more advanced applications, we provide the ability to remove all strings of text matching a pattern.

Extract data

The feature our users love the most is the data extraction tool, which allows you just by few clicks to find all emails, URLs, and numbers in the text. It works great even for a large block of text just copy and paste it into the editor and find the required button on the toolbar above.

For advanced users, we provide the ability to extract phrases that match the particular regex.
