Free Text Tools

Fifteen tools for everything you do with words: count them, restyle them, compare them, pull them out of scans, and turn them into speech or handwriting. Everything runs in your browser, and that matters here more than most places, because what you paste into text tools is usually a draft of something that matters.

Nothing pasted is stored No accounts, no limits OCR & TTS on device Free, works offline

Every text tool, ranked by what people reach for most

The daily counters and converters lead, the extraction and voice tools follow, and the specialty makers close it out. Paste anything into any of them: nothing is logged, nothing is sent, and your drafts stay drafts.

  1. 1

    Word & Character CounterMost used

    Words, characters, sentences, and reading time, live as you type or paste.

    The essay has a limit, the tweet has a limit, the meta description has a limit, and this is where they all get checked. Counts update in real time, with reading and speaking time, keyword density for the SEO-minded, and live length indicators for the platforms that care. The college essay you paste here is exactly the kind of text that should never touch a server, and it never does.

    Fancy Text GeneratorMost used

    Plain text becomes 𝓬𝓾𝓻𝓼𝓲𝓿𝓮, 𝔣𝔯𝔞𝔨𝔱𝔲𝔯, ⓑⓤⓑⓑⓛⓔ, and dozens more styles that paste anywhere.

    The styles are real Unicode characters, not fonts, which is the trick: they survive pasting into bios, usernames, comments, and captions on every platform, even where formatting is forbidden. Type once, scroll the live gallery of dozens of styles, and copy the one that fits the vibe. Bold, italic, script, upside down, strikethrough, fullwidth, and plenty of chaos in between.

    Case ConverterMost used

    UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case, camelCase, snake_case, and URL slugs, all at once.

    For the paragraph typed with caps lock on, the headline that needs proper Title Case, and the variable name that has to be camelCase by lunch. Paste once and every conversion appears simultaneously, including the developer cases (snake, kebab, Pascal, CONSTANT) and clean URL slugs. Copy the one you need and move on.

    Diff Checker

    Two texts compared line by line and word by word, side-by-side or inline.

    Which sentences did the editor change? What moved between contract version 3 and version 4? Paste both texts and every difference lights up at the line and word level, with case and whitespace toggles to silence the noise. Nothing is stored, which matters when the two versions are two drafts of something sensitive.

    Image to Text (OCR)

    Copyable text pulled from photos, screenshots, and scans, in 17 languages.

    The text is right there in the picture and you cannot select it. Paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V or drop in a batch of photos, and OCR running on your device types it all out with confidence scores per image. Recipes photographed from cookbooks, quotes from screenshots, whole pages from scans: extracted without any of it leaving your machine.

    Text-to-Speech StudioAI on device

    Any text becomes a natural AI voice: ten voices, no character limits, MP3 out.

    Hear your writing read aloud (the fastest way to catch clunky sentences), generate narration for a video, or make an audio version of anything. Ten voices with adjustable speed, MP3 or WAV download, and no character limits because the voices are generated on your device rather than billed per word by an API.

    Online NotepadPremium sync

    Open the page and start typing. It is already saving.

    The quick note, the copied paragraph you need in ten minutes, the draft that is not ready for a real document: an autosaving notepad with multiple notes, live word counts, dark mode, and download or print when something graduates. Notes live in your browser, not on a notes platform, and Premium sync can optionally carry them between devices.

    Lorem Ipsum Generator

    Placeholder text in exactly the shape you need: paragraphs, sentences, or lists.

    The design needs text before the copy exists. Generate precisely the amount you need (paragraphs for articles, short sentences for cards, list items for menus), optionally wrapped in HTML tags ready for a template. The classic "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" opener is available for the traditionalists.

    Markdown Editor

    Live side-by-side Markdown preview, with Mermaid diagrams rendered too.

    Write the README, the blog post, or the wiki page with the rendered result beside your cursor, so the tables, links, and nested lists come out right the first time. Mermaid support renders flowcharts and sequence diagrams inline, which most quick editors skip. Drop in an existing file or start blank, download when done.

    Morse Code Translator

    Text to Morse and back, with real audio beeps and a visual flasher.

    Translate both directions instantly, then actually experience it: play the dits and dahs as audio at adjustable speed, or watch the visual flasher blink the message out. For scouts earning badges, puzzle makers hiding clues, escape room designers, and anyone who has ever wanted to know what their name sounds like at 20 words per minute.

    Text to Handwriting

    Typed text rendered as realistic handwriting on ruled, plain, or grid paper.

    Five genuine handwriting styles with real ink colors and natural word-to-word variation, so the page does not look stamped. Pick the paper, paste the text, and export PNG pages, a ZIP, or a multi-page PDF. Heartfelt-looking notes, decorative quotes, and certain assignments we ask no questions about.

    Word Cloud Generator

    Any text becomes a picture where the most-used words grow largest.

    Paste a speech, survey answers, a year of messages, or a favorite chapter, and the vocabulary arranges itself by frequency into something poster-worthy. Customizable colors, fonts, and layouts. Half analysis tool, half gift generator: the anniversary word cloud of a couple's messages is a reliable tearjerker.

    PDF OCR

    Scanned PDFs become searchable, copyable text, page by page.

    A scanned PDF is a stack of photographs pretending to be a document. OCR reads every page on your device and gives you the text back: searchable inside the tool, exportable as TXT or JSON, or rebuilt into a searchable PDF. The archive of old records becomes something Ctrl+F actually works on.

    Read Time Calculator

    How long will they take to read it, and how long will you take to say it?

    The blog post needs its "6 min read" badge, and the wedding toast needs to fit in five minutes. Paste the text and get both numbers: silent reading time at an adjustable speed, and the slower read-aloud estimate for speeches and scripts. Live word and character counts come along for free.

    Table to Markdown

    Build the table visually, copy perfect Markdown syntax.

    Markdown tables are lovely to read and dreadful to type, with every pipe and dash demanding alignment. Build the table in a normal editor instead, then copy syntax that renders cleanly in GitHub, wikis, and docs. Five minutes of pipe-wrangling becomes thirty seconds.

The words are just the beginning

The same promise, that nothing you paste is stored or sent, runs through more than 150 other tools: the full PDF suite, image tools, developer tools, productivity apps, and more.

Chain them together

Words rarely need just one tool. These are the sequences writers actually run.

📄 Paper, digitized

Pull the text out of photos or scanned PDFs, land it in the notepad for cleanup, and fix the ALL CAPS heading the scanner insisted on. The filing cabinet becomes searchable text.

🎤 The speechwriter's kit

Draft the toast in the notepad, check that it actually fits in five minutes, then hear it read aloud, which catches the sentence you cannot say in one breath.

✍️ The essay finish line

Check the word count against the limit, diff the new draft against the old one to see what the edits really changed, and title-case the headings on the way out.

📘 The README pipeline

Build the comparison table without touching a pipe character, write the doc with a live preview and rendered diagrams, and diff it against the old version before committing.

Questions people ask before trusting a text site

Is the text I paste stored or sent anywhere?
No. Everything you paste (the essay, the contract, the letter you are still deciding whether to send) is processed on your device and never travels over the network. Most text-tool sites could log every word you paste; this one architecturally cannot. Open your browser's network tab and verify it while you work.
How does fancy text paste anywhere?
The styles are real Unicode characters, not fonts, so bios, usernames, and posts render them wherever text is allowed, even where formatting is forbidden. One honest caveat: screen readers struggle with stylized Unicode, so use it for flair, not whole paragraphs.
What languages does the OCR support?
The image OCR reads 17 languages, and both it and the PDF OCR run entirely in your browser with per-item confidence scores. Paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V or batch a folder of scans.
Does the text-to-speech have character limits?
No. The voices generate on your device, so there is no per-character billing and no cap. Paste a whole chapter, pick one of ten voices, and download MP3 or WAV.
Where does the notepad save my notes?
In your browser's local storage on your own device, autosaving as you type. Nothing is on our servers by default. An optional Premium sync can back your notes up to your account for cross-device use; it is off by default and entirely opt-in.
Are these tools really free?
Yes. All 15 are free with no sign-up, no paste-length limits, and nothing held back. The site offers an optional premium plan for cross-device conveniences on a few tools, and that is the entire business model.
How is this different from wordcounter.net or Grammarly?
Grammarly and most online text sites process your writing on their servers, which means your drafts travel and may be retained. These tools do the same everyday jobs locally: same counts, same conversions, and your unsent resignation letter stays unsent and unseen.
Do the tools work offline?
Mostly, yes. Once a tool's page has loaded, the code runs on your device, so counters, converters, and the notepad keep working with no connection. The OCR and text-to-speech tools work offline after their one-time model download.
