Characters, words, and bytes

Character limits are not always the same as byte limits. A short message can use more bytes when it contains emoji or non-Latin scripts, so checking both counts helps before submitting forms, metadata, or API payloads.

Comparing drafts

Paste the original text on the left and the revised text on the right to see character deltas and changed line counts. This is useful for SEO snippets, product copy, translation drafts, and documentation edits.
