TextToolbox Instant text & writing tools

Text tools that open, work, and get out of the way

Twenty-seven tools for counting, cleaning, converting and checking text. Paste, get the answer, close the tab. Nothing uploads, nothing is stored, and there is no character limit waiting to sell you a plan.

Writers hit the same handful of small problems over and over: is this under the word limit, why does this list have duplicates, how do I turn a heading into a URL slug, what changed between these two drafts. Each one is thirty seconds of work and yet the usual answer is a site that wants an account first.

Everything here runs in the browser the moment the page loads. Paste a document into the word counter and the count is already there — no button, no spinner, no upload. That also means the text never leaves your machine, which matters more than people admit when the draft is a contract or an unpublished manuscript.

Start with what you are trying to fix

Checking length for an assignment, a meta description or a submission? The word counter and character counter both show live totals, reading time and a keyword breakdown, so one paste answers the whole question.

Cleaning up messy text is the other half of the traffic here. Duplicate line remover, alphabetize lines, remove line breaks and find-and-replace handle the exports, copy-pastes and PDF spills that arrive with formatting nobody wants.

Working on something technical? Case converter, slug generator, JSON formatter, Base64 and the regex tester cover the conversions that sit between writing and shipping, and the regex tester explains each match rather than just highlighting it.

Why nothing uploads

Every tool is plain JavaScript running on your device. There is no server-side processing step, so pasting 200,000 words is as fast as pasting a sentence and neither one crosses the network.

It also removes the awkward question of what a free text site does with your text. Nothing reaches us, so there is nothing to keep, sell or leak.

Common questions

Is there a character or file size limit?

No. The work happens in your browser rather than on a server, so the practical ceiling is your device's memory, not a plan tier. Documents of several hundred thousand words are handled without complaint.

Does my text get uploaded or saved anywhere?

No. Nothing you paste leaves the page. There is no account, no draft history and no server-side copy, which is deliberate: the most common use for these tools is text somebody would rather not hand to a stranger.

Do the word counts match Microsoft Word and Google Docs?

For ordinary prose, yes. Small differences appear around hyphenated compounds, numbers and text in tables, because each program draws the boundary slightly differently. The counter explains how it splits words so you can predict the gap rather than guess at it.

Can I use these on a phone?

Yes. Every tool is built mobile-first and works with the on-screen keyboard, which is worth saying because a surprising number of text utilities still assume a desktop and a mouse.

Are they really free?

Yes, with clearly labelled ads paying for the hosting. No signup, no trial that expires, and no feature held back for a paid version.
