Text Analyzer — Free Text Statistics, Line & Byte Counter

Text Analyzer — Free Text Statistics, Line & Byte Counter. Free online text analyzer. Count characters, words, sentences, paragraphs, lines and bytes, see word frequency, reading time and a readability score — 100% in your browser.

Our free online text analyzer gives you a complete statistical picture of any text in real time.

Paste an article, an essay, source code or a log file and instantly see the character count (with and without spaces), word count, unique words, sentence and paragraph totals and a line counter side by side.

Unlike a basic word counter, this text statistics tool also measures the exact UTF-8 size of your text, so you can use it as a byte counter or string length calculator when checking payload limits, database column sizes, SMS and push-notification lengths, or API field constraints.

Go beyond raw counts with a top-10 word frequency table that shows each word's share of the total — ideal for spotting repetition or a quick keyword density check (for full frequency lists, stop-word filtering and exports, use our Word Frequency Counter).

The reading time calculator estimates how long your text takes to read (200 words per minute) and to speak aloud (130 words per minute), which helps when you plan blog posts, newsletters, presentations and video scripts.

A Flesch reading-ease score (0–100, English text) works as a quick readability checker, while average word length and the longest word show how dense your writing is.

Every calculation runs locally in your browser: your drafts, contracts, student papers and code are never uploaded to a server, and the text analysis tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.

Emoji and accented characters are counted as single characters, and Windows, macOS and Unix line endings are all recognised.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use this text analyzer?

Paste or type your text into the box at the top, or click Load sample to try it. All 13 statistics and the Top 10 word frequency table update live. Click Copy report to copy every statistic as plain text, or Copy link to share a URL that restores your text.

How are words, sentences, paragraphs and lines counted?

Words are runs of characters separated by whitespace. Sentences end with a period, exclamation mark, question mark or ellipsis followed by a space or the end of the text. Paragraphs are blocks separated by an empty line, and the line counter counts every line, with Windows, Mac and Unix line breaks.

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time assumes 200 words per minute and Speaking time 130 words per minute, rounded up to the next second and shown in minutes and seconds. They are averages; real speed depends on the reader and how difficult the text is.

What does the Readability (Flesch) score mean?

It is the Flesch reading-ease score from 0 to 100, based on average sentence length and syllables per word: higher means easier. Around 60 to 70 is plain English and below 30 is very hard. Syllables are estimated with English rules, so the score is not meaningful for other languages.

How does the byte counter work?

Size (UTF-8) is how many bytes the text takes when saved as UTF-8: one byte per plain ASCII character and two to four for accented letters, other scripts and emoji. Characters counts Unicode characters, so a simple emoji counts as 1 character but 4 bytes.

Is my text uploaded?

No. Every statistic is calculated in your browser, so the drafts, essays or code you paste are not sent to a server.

How to use this online tool

Text Analyzer — Free Text Statistics, Line & Byte Counter is designed for fast browser workflows when you need to format, validate, convert, decode, encode, generate, or inspect data without opening a heavy desktop app. Start with the input field or visible options, review the result, then copy or download the output for the next step.

Private processing in your browser

Text Analyzer — Free Text Statistics, Line & Byte Counter keeps the normal processing step local in your browser. That is useful for code snippets, tokens, documents, configuration values, text samples, and other material that should not be sent to a remote service unless you explicitly choose to share it.

When this tool is useful

Use Text Analyzer — Free Text Statistics, Line & Byte Counter for repeatable developer tasks, technical documentation, QA checks, quick conversions, debugging, content cleanup, and internal team workflows.

Practical tips

Before copying the final result, check important details such as spacing, casing, filenames, encoding, token structure, line breaks, or output format. Small checks prevent mistakes when the result is reused in source code, API requests, documentation, spreadsheets, or shared files.
