About this tool
Made for the task at hand.
Check prompt length before sending it to a model. Token Counter uses the same local encoding engine as the playground and keeps token boundaries visible.
How to use
Paste your prompt into the input.
Select the target model or encoding.
Read the token total and use Clear when finished.
Your work stays yours. Tool inputs are processed locally in your browser and are never sent to KitVerse servers. Clear the workspace when using a shared device.
Common questionsWhy do words and token counts differ?
Tokens can represent whole words, word fragments, punctuation, or whitespace, so there is no fixed words-to-tokens ratio.
Does this support CJK and emoji?
Yes. The encoder handles Unicode text, including CJK characters and emoji, though counts vary by encoding.
