Best Free Text Tools for Writers
Word Counter and Text Diff for drafts — count length, compare revisions, and publish cleaner copy with two In-browser DevToolKit tools.
Two DevToolKit tools for writers
Writers need reliable counts and clean revision tracking. DevToolKit offers Word Counter and Text Diff — both In-browser. There is no case converter, slug generator, or duplicate-line remover in this catalog; handle those edits in your editor.
Word Counter for length targets
Check essays against minimum and maximum limits, size meta descriptions, and balance section length in long guides.
Counts include words and characters in the pasted text — reset between drafts if you compare versions sequentially.
Text Diff for revision control
Paste previous and current drafts to compare matching line positions before publishing. This is useful when co-authors email Word files or when CMS autosave makes a revision difficult to review.
The comparison is positional and line-by-line, not insertion-aware: a line inserted near the beginning can make following rows appear changed, while only extra lines at the end are counted as added or removed. Read the surrounding text when blocks move or reorder.
Workflow pairing
Draft in your editor, diff against yesterday's export, trim with Word Counter to hit limits, then paste into CMS. For SEO title length checks, pair Word Counter with the basic SEO guide.
Writer checklist
Length within requirements; diff reviewed for accidental deletions; final read in CMS preview; no reliance on nonexistent slug or case tools in DevToolKit.
