How to use the Word & Character Counter

Useful for essays, cover letters and applications with a length limit. You can count HWP files without Hangul installed, and see totals across several files.

  1. Upload HWP, HWPX, Word or PDF files, or paste text below.
  2. Characters with and without spaces, words and bytes appear instantly.
  3. Press Copy result to paste the numbers anywhere.

What the numbers mean

  • Characters: every character including spaces, not counting line breaks.
  • Without spaces: excluding spaces and line breaks.
  • Bytes: Korean characters count as 2, Latin letters, digits and spaces as 1.
