📝 Text Tools

Text tools search, replace, compare, convert, and count strings — text-processing tasks handled right in your browser. Check a draft's length, compare two versions, or convert encodings: finish the chores anyone who works with text runs into often.

What are text tools?

Writing prose and working with code raises the same questions over and over: “Am I over the character limit?”, “What's different between these two versions?”, “What's the Unicode code point of this character?” The tools in this category handle regex search/replace, line-by-line diff comparison, full-width/half-width conversion, and decimal/hex/binary encoding — with nothing to install. The text you enter is never sent to a server; it's processed entirely in your browser.

When to use them

• Length & formatting checks — use Character Count for social-media limits and byte counts, and Case Converter to normalize casing
• Comparing versions — use Diff for line-by-line differences, and Search & Replace for regex bulk edits
• Extracting & tidying data — use Email Extractor, and List Sorter to sort and deduplicate
• Encoding conversion — URL encode/decode, full-width/half-width, and decimal/hex/binary conversion

Frequently asked questions

Is the text I enter stored?

No. Everything is processed in your browser; the text you enter is never sent to or stored on a server.

What is the “byte count” based on?

UTF-8 encoding. Most CJK characters count as 3 bytes, while ASCII letters and digits count as 1 byte.
