Why use TextTidyTools?
Most text jobs are small. You need to know whether a description fits in 160 characters, strip the duplicate rows out of a list a colleague sent you, or check how long a script runs when read aloud. Opening a word processor for that is overkill, and pasting a client's draft into an unknown website is worse.
TextTidyTools is built for those small jobs. Each tool is a single page that loads in well under a second, does one thing carefully, and explains exactly how it counts or converts. There is no dashboard to learn, no export queue, and no free tier that suddenly asks for a credit card at 500 words.
The tools also try to be honest about their limits. Sentence detection in English is a hard problem, reading speed varies enormously between people, and keyword frequency tells you about word distribution — not about search rankings. Where a result is an estimate, the page says so and shows you the assumption behind the number.
Privacy-first text processing
Every calculation on this site happens inside your browser tab, using JavaScript that ships with the page. When you type into a text box, that text stays in the page's memory. It is not sent to a server, not written to a database, and not passed to an analytics script.
That design has a practical consequence: we could not show you your text again even if you asked. Nothing is stored between visits unless you turn on the optional "remember this text" switch, which writes to your own browser's local storage and can be cleared at any time by turning it back off.
It also means the tools keep working with the network disconnected. Load a tool page once, switch to airplane mode, and it still counts, converts and compares.
Who these tools are for
- Writers and editors checking length, sentence balance and repeated phrasing before filing a draft.
- Students hitting a word count for an assignment and formatting a title correctly for a citation style.
- Marketers and SEO specialists fitting meta descriptions, building URL slugs and reviewing keyword distribution.
- Developers converting identifiers between camelCase and snake_case, deduplicating log lines and inspecting character codes.
- Speakers and video creators timing a script before recording so it fits the slot.
- Anyone who has ever pasted text out of a PDF and watched the line breaks fall apart.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to use these tools?
No. There is no sign-up form anywhere on the site, and no tool is gated behind one. Open a page and start typing.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. All processing runs in your browser with local JavaScript. The pages contain no upload code, so there is nothing to intercept. You can verify this yourself by opening the network tab of your browser tools and typing into any tool.
Are the tools really free?
Yes, all of them, with no usage caps. The site is supported by advertising placed around the tools, never inside the input or result areas.
Can I use the results for professional work?
You can, but treat counts and estimates as measurements rather than rulings. Word processors and publishing platforms sometimes count slightly differently — our methodology page explains our rules so you can reconcile any difference.
Do the tools work on a phone?
Yes. Every page is laid out for small screens first, with tap targets sized for thumbs and text areas that stay usable in portrait mode.
Which languages are supported?
The interface is in English, and the word and sentence rules are tuned for English. Counting characters, lines and paragraphs works for any language, including Korean, Japanese and Chinese text, though word counts for languages that do not separate words with spaces will not be meaningful.
