Token & Context Counter
Calculates characters, words, lines, and an approximate token count. The token result is an estimate because exact counts vary by model tokenizer; it is intended for safe context planning.

Token & Context Counter: method and usage
Calculates characters, words, lines, and an approximate token count. The token result is an estimate because exact counts vary by model tokenizer; it is intended for safe context planning.
an instruction with an explicit goal, audience, context, constraints, and expected output format Confirm the shape first with a small example containing no personal data.
an editable prompt draft, coverage metrics, and explicit improvement actions
Practical steps
- Paste your text.
- Run the count.
- Leave a safety margin when comparing with model limits.
model testing with representative normal, missing-context, conflicting, sensitive-data, and prompt-injection cases
Rule-based review does not prove real model behavior; retest with representative cases.
Suitable use cases
- Context-window planning
- Prompt length comparison
- Rough cost estimation
