Text Repeater quick start

The text box

Type or paste what you want to repeat into Text to repeat. It accepts any text: a letter, a word, a sentence, several lines, emoji, or any language. There's no limit on how much you put in the box; the limits apply to the result.

• Paste: above the box, on the right. It reads your clipboard and inserts the text where the cursor is, replacing anything you've selected. Your browser may ask for permission first, and you can always paste by hand instead.
• Clear text (×): next to Paste. It empties the text box and leaves the count, separator, and numbering as they are. It's disabled while the box is empty.

Your text stays in your browser. It isn't sent to a server or stored, and it's gone when you close or reload the page.

Repeat count

Enter how many copies you want, from 1 to 100,000, in the number field followed by "times". The − and + buttons lower or raise the count, and the quick picks set it to 10, 50, 100, 500, or 1,000 with one tap. On the homepage, the count starts at 10.

If the field is empty, isn't a whole number, or is outside 1 to 100,000, the result stays empty and you'll see "Enter a whole number from 1 to 100,000." When you leave the field, the value is corrected to the nearest allowed whole number, and an empty field becomes 1.

Separator

The separator goes between copies, never after the last one.

• New line: each copy starts on its own line. This is the default on the homepage.
• Space: one space between copies.
• Comma: a comma followed by a space.
• None: nothing at all, so the copies run together.
• Custom: shows a Custom separator field. Type any text, such as | or -. Use \n for a new line and \t for a tab. If you leave the field empty, the copies are joined with nothing, the same as None.

The separator guide shows what each option produces, side by side.

Numbering

Turn on Number each repetition and each copy starts with its number, a period, and a space. It works with every separator, so hi repeated 3 times with Comma becomes 1. hi, 2. hi, 3. hi.

The result

The Repeated text box shows the result. It's read-only, and it updates the moment you type or change any option, so there's no Repeat or Generate button to press. A single result can be up to 1,000,000 characters long.

Under the result, you'll see three counts:

• Characters: anything you see as one character counts as one. An accented letter counts as 1, and so does an emoji with a skin tone, a flag, or a family emoji. Spaces and line breaks count too.
• Words: groups of characters separated by spaces, tabs, or line breaks. Copies joined with None form one long word. In languages written without spaces, such as Chinese, Japanese, or Thai, each unbroken run of text counts as one word.
• Lines: the number of line breaks plus one.

The character count guide explains how these counts work and why another app might count the same text differently.

Copy and Download

• Copy: copies the whole result to your clipboard. The button shows "Copied" for about two seconds, and a notification says "Copied to clipboard".
• Download .txt: saves the result as a plain-text UTF-8 file named repeated-text.txt, and a notification says "Download started". Desktop browsers save it to your Downloads folder. On iPhone and iPad, Safari saves it to Downloads in the Files app. Android browsers save it to Downloads.

Both buttons are disabled while there's no result.

Messages you might see

• "Your clipboard is empty" means Paste found no text on your clipboard. Copy your text again, then select Paste.
• "Clipboard access was blocked" means your browser didn't let the page read your clipboard. Paste the text into the box by hand instead: long-press in the box on a phone, or press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac).
• "Enter a whole number from 1 to 100,000." means the repeat count is empty, isn't a whole number, or is out of range. Fix it, or leave the field and it's corrected for you.
• "The result would be longer than 1,000,000 characters. Lower the repeat count or shorten the text." means the result is over the limit. A shorter separator, or turning off numbering, also makes the result shorter.
• "Copied to clipboard" means the whole result is on your clipboard, ready to paste.
• "Couldn't copy the text" means your browser blocked copying. Select the result and copy it with Ctrl+C, or long-press it on a phone.
• "Download started" means your browser is saving repeated-text.txt.
