Free prompt compressor and token optimizer
The Token Optimizer rewrites a verbose prompt to use fewer tokens while keeping every instruction, then counts the tokens before and after so you can see the saving.
Compress this prompt. Keep all instructions and constraints intact.

What is Prompt Token Optimization and Why Does It Matter?
Every interaction with an LLM (such as OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude or Google Gemini) is billed based on the number of tokens sent in the prompt and returned in the completion. Unoptimized prompts are filled with conversational padding (“Please can you make sure to”), redundant phrasing, and loose syntax that add zero value to the AI’s reasoning.
Token Optimizer is a prompt compressor: it rewrites your prompt more tightly, replacing conversational filler with direct instructions, and tells you how many tokens that saved. How much depends on the prompt: wordy ones shrink the most, and a prompt that is already tight may come back unchanged.
4 Core Strategies for Token Compression
Conversational Fluff Stripping
Transformers do not need polite pleasantries. Removing phrases like “Could you kindly explain” saves a few tokens per sentence.
Structural Delimiters & Markdown
Replacing verbose transition sentences with concise Markdown headers (`### Constraints`) and bullet points preserves strict logical boundaries in fewer tokens.
Semantic Verb Consolidation
Multi-word phrases like “take into consideration all possible exceptions” are consolidated into high-density directives like “Account for exceptions”.
Context Density Locking
The compressor is told to keep variables, output-format constraints and schema rules in place and to cut only the words around them. Check the result before using it in production.
