Overview
Editors, students, and product marketers all need quick counts before hitting publish. SnapTools highlights words, characters, and a simple reading-time estimate so you can compare drafts side by side.
Paste sensitive copy with confidence — analytics never sees the literal text for this workflow.
How it works
Splitting on whitespace yields word totals; character counts include spaces unless you strip them manually.
Benefits
Align hero copy with CMS field limits, scholarship word caps, or sprint documentation budgets without exporting to a desktop editor.
Security & privacy
Clear the textarea after working with regulated content, and avoid shoulder-surfing on shared hardware.
