Text & Writing Tools

Free online text tools: word counter, diff, Markdown preview, Lorem Ipsum and more.

5 tools

Text & Writing Tools covers five ways to work with text you already have: measuring it, comparing two versions, cleaning it up line by line, changing its capitalisation, and generating placeholder copy. The Word Counter reports words, characters, sentences and reading time. Text Diff & Compare highlights what changed between two texts. Text Line Tools sorts, deduplicates or numbers lines. The Case Converter switches between UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case and Sentence case. The Lorem Ipsum Generator produces placeholder paragraphs, sentences or words. All five run entirely in the browser, so your text stays on your device.

Which tool should I use?

  • Use the Word Counter to check length against a form or assignment limit, or to gauge reading time; it counts as you type.
  • Use the Case Converter to normalise capitalisation from a messy paste — Title Case capitalises the first letter of every space-separated word, and Sentence case starts a new capital after . ! ? or a line break.

Limitations and things to know

  • The Word Counter's sentence and paragraph counts are heuristic: a sentence is a run ending in . ! or ?, so abbreviations and decimals inflate the total, and a paragraph is a block separated by a blank line. The characters-with-spaces total counts code units, so an emoji counts as two.
  • Reading time assumes 200 words per minute and is rounded up to at least one minute.
  • Case Converter Title Case capitalises every word with no exception for short words like "a" or "of", and Sentence case does not know abbreviations or restore proper nouns.
  • The Word Counter accepts up to 200,000 characters and updates after a short pause in typing; the Case Converter accepts up to the shared 2 MB text limit.
