Character Counts is a simple and straightforward Chrome extension developed by keith.commiskey. This handy tool allows users to easily determine the number of characters in a selected text. Additionally, it provides the functionality to convert between ASCII (char), ASCII (int), and 8-bit (Byte) formats.

With its user-friendly interface, Character Counts is incredibly easy to use. Simply select the desired text, and the extension will instantly display the character count. The conversion feature is equally convenient, allowing users to switch between different formats effortlessly.

In version 2, the extension introduces a new feature that allows users to change the format of the source string. Users can now input the string to be converted in the top input box and choose from ASCII(char), ASCII(int), and Binary formats. By clicking on the "Convert" link, the extension will cycle through the three conversions, providing users with quick and accurate results.
