How to use

Type or paste your text into the box above.
The character, word, line and byte counts update automatically as you type.
When a job site or application has a character limit, compare the counts with and without spaces.

Features

Handy for checking length limits on cover letters, resumes, blog posts, social media posts and paper abstracts.
Bytes (UTF-8) counts each Korean character as 3 bytes, and Bytes (Korean = 2 bytes) counts it as 2 bytes the EUC-KR way, so you can check against each organization's standard.
Emoji and special characters are counted as one character, and your text is not saved.

Word and character counter – with and without spaces, and bytes, all at once (a must for cover letters)

When you write a cover letter, conditions like "within 1,000 characters including spaces" or "500 bytes or less" are easy to worry about. Every site counts differently, and many people have to rush to cut text right before submitting because it went over the limit.

EasyCVT Word Counter is a free tool that shows counts under several standards at once, just by pasting your text.

What you can check at once

Characters including spaces
Characters excluding spaces
Word count
Line count
Bytes (UTF-8): one Korean character = 3 bytes
Bytes (Korean as 2 bytes, EUC-KR): one Korean character = 2 bytes

Emoji and special characters are counted as one character.

Why are there two byte standards?

Because institutions and systems count bytes differently. Some count Korean characters as 2 bytes and others as 3. Since both figures are shown, you can pick the value that matches the standard of where you are submitting.

How to use

Type in the input box, or paste text you copied.
All figures update in real time as you type.
Compare with the limit where you are submitting and adjust the length.
To check another text, press "Clear text".
