Frequently Asked Questions

Is the String Length Calculator free to use?
Yes, the String Length Calculator is completely free with no limitations. Calculate string lengths as often as you need without any registration or restrictions.
Is my text data private?
Yes, all calculations happen locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never sent to any server, making it safe to measure sensitive content like passwords, API keys, or confidential text.
What does the String Length Calculator measure?
The tool counts the number of characters in your text, including letters, numbers, spaces, and special characters. It also shows byte length for different encodings (UTF-8, UTF-16) which is important for database fields and API limits.
Why would I need to calculate string length?
String length is important for database field limits, API payload restrictions, SMS character counts, form validation, and ensuring text fits within UI constraints. Different systems may count characters differently based on encoding.
How does the tool handle emoji and special characters?
The tool shows both the character count (how many characters you see) and the byte length (storage size). Emoji and non-ASCII characters may count as one character but use multiple bytes in UTF-8 encoding.
