Tokenator-AI Token Calculator
Ever wondered what “tokens” mean in AI? Think of them like 3D printer filament for text. In 3D printing, you measure how much filament you’ll use before you hit “print” — because it affects time, cost, and the final product. In AI, tokens work the same way. They’re chunks of text (words, parts of words, or even punctuation) that the model processes. The more tokens, the more it costs, and the longer it takes to get your result.
Tokenator is a free, GitHub Pages–compatible tool I built to help you estimate token counts before sending your text to an AI model. Just paste your text or upload a file, and it’ll show you how many tokens different models would use — instantly.
