Free text tools online

Count words and characters or tidy spacing and capitalization before moving a draft into another application. These tools work with plain text, so formatting from a document editor may not survive copying. Review names, intentional line breaks and punctuation in the output. Word-count conventions can differ between systems; use the destination platform’s count when it sets an official submission limit.

Prepare a draft for a destination

Count the draft before cutting it down, clean copied spacing and then count it again. The destination may include headings, references or hyphenated words differently. If a portal enforces a limit, use its own final count as the deciding measure.

Review meaning after formatting

A case change can alter abbreviations, names and code. Collapsing whitespace may remove intentional alignment. Plain-text tools do not preserve bold styling, comments or document revision history. Keep a source copy and review the transformed text before pasting it elsewhere.
