Bytes (UTF-8) is the size if the text were saved as a UTF-8 file (differs from character count for emoji, many non-Latin scripts, etc.). Paragraphs = blocks separated by one or more blank lines. Lines = newline-separated rows in the textarea (trailing empty line after a final newline is ignored for the line count). Words are split on whitespace (ASCII-style). CJK text is not segmented into words the way a native tokenizer would.
All processing happens in your browser — your files are never uploaded to a server.
