About this word counter
This free word counter instantly tells you how many words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs are in your text. It is ideal for students working to an essay word limit, writers checking article length, and anyone keeping a social media post within a character count. The numbers update live as you type or paste, and everything stays private on your device.
Counting by hand is slow and error-prone, especially for long documents. This tool gives an accurate count in real time, including a separate character count with and without spaces, so you can meet exact requirements with confidence.
How to use it
Type directly into the box or paste text from anywhere. The counts appear immediately below. Clear the box to start again. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
