Word Counter
Count words, characters with and without spaces, and paragraphs in real time. Ideal for writers, students and anyone working with text.
What is a word counter for?
People who write for a living, such as writers and journalists, lean on word counters to stay within editorial limits. In academia, the point is to confirm a paper hits the minimum word count being asked for. SEO folks, meanwhile, keep an eye on the length of articles and product descriptions.
Counting characters without spaces pays off whenever each character matters: social posts with a cap, ad copy and meta descriptions.
Everything runs as you type, inside the browser itself. No text ever leaves your machine for a server.
Count words and characters in real time
How many words and characters a text holds stopped being a footnote the moment nearly everything online started running on a limit. An essay, a tweet, a page's meta description, a post caption. This tool shows the count updating while you type or paste the content.
Besides words and characters (with and without spaces), you can see how many sentences and paragraphs the text has, which helps you keep each piece the right size for its channel. It serves a student measuring an essay just as well as someone producing content who needs to land within the ideal ~155-character SEO title or a social network's limits.
All the processing is in the browser, in real time, with no submit button. The text never leaves your device, so paste confidential drafts freely just to check the length.
