Character Frequency Counter
Count how many times each character appears in your text.
See which characters dominate your text
Character frequency is the backbone of simple ciphers, typography tests, and data cleanup. This tool tallies every character in what you paste and shows the count for each, so you can spot an unexpected symbol, confirm a delimiter appears the right number of times, or study letter distribution.
For classic substitution puzzles, the most frequent letter in English text is usually "e", and the frequency table here makes that pattern immediately visible in whatever you paste.
What it counts and privacy
It counts every character including spaces and punctuation, so the totals reflect the raw text rather than words — strip characters you do not care about first. All counting happens in the browser and the text stays on your device.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it count spaces and punctuation?
Yes. Every character is counted, including spaces, line breaks, and symbols. Remove them first if you only want letters.
Is it case-sensitive?
It counts characters as they appear, so uppercase and lowercase letters are tallied separately.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The frequency table is built in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
