Gemini 3.5 Flash Token Counter
Gemini 3.5 Flash uses Google's tokenizer. Use the Gemini API countTokens method for an exact model-specific count; the local tool below uses the documented approximate character ratio for planning, without an API key.
Estimated text tokens only: characters ÷ 4, rounded up, based on Google's approximate text ratio. This is not a model-exact count or billing guarantee; multilingual text, code and emoji can differ substantially. Use Gemini API countTokens for model-aware counting.
