OpenAI tokenizer playground

Count tokens exactly with the encoding a model actually uses. Every token id and slice listed, both directions, computed in a worker.

Direction
Text
GPT-5.x, GPT-4.1, GPT-4o, o-series (current models) · 400 tokens listed, count always exact
Result

Paste text (or ids), then press Count.

All encodings, side by side

The same text through o200k_base, cl100k_base, p50k_base, and r50k_base. Exact BPE counts per row. The spread between vocabularies is a fact, not a ranking.

one text, every shipped encoding
What counts as exact
  • Counts are the BPE output of the installed gpt-tokenizer encoding, a port of OpenAI's tiktoken. Exact for these encodings: what the matching OpenAI models charge for is what is counted.
  • Claude, Gemini, and other vendors use different tokenizers. Counts here are NOT their counts. The context-fit tool labels those as estimates instead of pretending.
  • Special tokens pasted into the text (like <|endoftext|>) count as their single special id: that is what a model actually receives.
  • A token can hold partial UTF-8 (an emoji often splits); its slice may show the replacement character. That is the real boundary, not a bug.
Samples
  • Ordinary English: watch spaces lead most tokens.

  • Astral emoji and CJK carry multi-byte tokens; one grapheme is not one token.

  • Code tokens split on punctuation runs; why code costs more tokens than prose.

  • A pasted special token counts as its single special id; what the model actually sees.
