Token estimation
A live estimate updates while you type, and each optimization shows before-and-after token counts together with the percentage saved.
TokenTrim
TokenTrim is a Chrome extension that compresses prompts for ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, removes filler, reviews shorter versions, and tracks estimated token savings locally.
Overview
TokenTrim is a Chrome extension that shortens prompts before they are sent to ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. It removes filler and repeated wording, converts longer requests into more direct instructions, and is designed to retain requirements, names, numbers, and examples.
The extension runs locally in the browser and provides an interactive review step before replacement or sending. It also offers automatic optimization, selectable compression modes, token estimates, and usage totals so users can inspect how their prompts change and track estimated savings.
Features
Review and send workflow
Click Optimize or press Alt+O to view the original and shortened prompt side by side, including a word-level view of changes. Replace the prompt or replace it and send it immediately.
Three compression modes
Select Light, Balanced, or Max to determine how aggressively wording is shortened, from removing filler to restructuring instructions into more compact formats.
Automatic optimization
Enable automatic mode to optimize prompts as they are sent instead of starting the process manually each time.
Savings tracker
A tracker records optimized prompt counts and estimated tokens saved for the day, month, and overall usage. The figures can be reset.
Protected content handling
Code blocks, inline code, URLs, email addresses, and quoted text are preserved exactly. When shortening would not reduce length, the original prompt is retained.
Use cases
Reducing verbosity in everyday prompts
Shorten polite framing, repeated instructions, and other nonessential wording before submitting a long request, while reviewing the proposed edits before sending.
Checking prompt size
Use the live estimate and before-and-after counts to inspect how much a lengthy prompt was shortened when token usage or context space matters.
Organizing complex instructions
Choose Balanced or Max to turn multi-part requests into more compact instructions or numbered lists when a prompt contains many requirements.
Working with technical or quoted content
Keep technical prompt material intact by relying on protected handling for code, URLs, email addresses, and quoted text while compressing surrounding prose.
Streamlining recurring AI workflows
Enable automatic mode for repeated prompting on supported AI sites, then consult the tracker for daily, monthly, or overall estimated savings.

FAQ
How do I use TokenTrim?
Install TokenTrim from the Chrome Web Store. On supported AI sites, an Optimize button appears above the prompt box. Click it, or use Alt+O, to compare the original and optimized prompt, then choose Replace or Replace & Send. Automatic mode can optimize prompts as they are sent.
Which AI websites does TokenTrim support?
TokenTrim is listed for chatgpt.com, claude.ai, and gemini.google.com. The listing says that more sites are planned, but it does not specify a release date or additional supported sites.
Can I control how much TokenTrim shortens a prompt?
You can choose Light, Balanced, or Max. Light removes redundancy while preserving writing style, Balanced compresses and restructures instructions, and Max applies more aggressive shortening using formats such as numbered lists and fewer inferred details.
What content does TokenTrim leave unchanged?
The extension states that code blocks, inline code, URLs, email addresses, and quoted text are left unchanged. If an optimization would not make the prompt shorter, TokenTrim keeps the original prompt.
Does TokenTrim store prompts or support team usage?
TokenTrim says that prompt text is processed locally in the browser and is not sent to a server or stored. Aggregate prompt counts and token totals are saved for the savings tracker, and those figures can be reset. The listing does not document team features or shared workspaces.
