What Is 2count?

2count is a free, privacy-first text analysis tool that gives writers, marketers, and content creators real-time character, word, sentence, and paragraph counts with platform-specific limit tracking. Every metric updates as you type, all processing happens 100% in your browser, and your text is never sent to a server.

How Does 2count Work?

2count runs entirely in your browser. When you type or paste text into the editor, a single JavaScript module recalculates every metric on each keystroke — there is no backend, no API call, and no debounced round-trip. Here is the full pipeline: Type or paste your text into the main editor. Drag-and-drop of .txt and .md files is supported.

What Are the Character Limits for Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Google Ads?

2count tracks the official character limits for the platforms you most often write for. The built-in presets cover: Twitter / X — 280 characters per tweet. URLs are counted as 23 characters regardless of their actual length due to t.co link wrapping. Instagram — 2,200 characters per caption. Only the first 125 characters are visible before the "more" truncation in the feed. LinkedIn — 3,000 characters per post.

What Is a Readability Score?

A readability score is a numeric grade that estimates how difficult a piece of text is to read. 2count uses the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level formula, which maps text complexity to a US school grade. A score of 8.0 means the text is readable by an average eighth grader. Most web content should target a grade level between 6 and 8 for general audiences, while technical documentation typically lands between 10 and 14.

What Is PII Detection and Why Does It Matter?

PII detection scans your text for patterns that match Personally Identifiable Information — email addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, IPv4 addresses, and credit card numbers. The scan runs entirely in your browser, so no sensitive data ever leaves your device.
