Text Tools

Writers, students, marketers and developers all work with text every day. These text tools help you count words, change letter case, remove duplicates, sort lines, compare texts, take notes in an online notepad and much more, instantly and privately in your browser.

Everyday text tasks made quick

Writers use the word counter to stay within essay and article limits, and the case converter to fix text typed with Caps Lock on. Remove Duplicate Lines, Sort Text Lines and Remove Extra Spaces clean up lists copied from spreadsheets, emails or PDFs. Find and Replace changes a word everywhere at once, and the diff checker shows exactly what changed between two versions of a document. The online notepad saves your notes in the browser so they are still there when you come back.

Frequently asked questions

Is my text stored anywhere?

Text is processed on your device. Only the online notepad keeps a copy, and it saves it in your own browser storage, not on a server.

Do the tools work with other languages?

Yes. The tools handle Unicode text, including accented letters, Cyrillic, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

How does the word counter count words?

It counts groups of characters separated by spaces. For Chinese and Japanese, where words are not separated, the character count is the more useful number.

Text tasks people do every day

  • Meeting a word limit: paste your essay into the Word Counter. It also shows reading time, which is useful for speeches.
  • Cleaning text copied from a PDF: run Remove Extra Spaces to fix broken spacing and line breaks, then check capitals with the Case Converter.
  • Preparing a mailing or keyword list: remove repeats with Remove Duplicate Lines, then put the list in order with Sort Text Lines.
  • Checking what changed between two versions: paste both into the Text Diff Checker to see every added and removed line.

Tip: all text tools work offline once the page has loaded, and nothing you paste is saved unless you use the notepad.
