About the Word Counter
This tool gives you quick text statistics without uploading anything. Paste a paragraph, draft, social post, article, or essay and it counts the words, characters, characters without spaces, sentences, paragraphs and lines. It also estimates reading time using a simple 200 words per minute rule.
How to use it
- Paste or type your text into the input box.
- Read the word count and other statistics in the output.
- Copy the summary if you need to share the numbers.
Word counts are useful for SEO titles, school assignments, ad copy, product descriptions and any form with a length limit. Different editors may count punctuation or hyphenated terms slightly differently, so treat the numbers as a clear, practical estimate. The counting runs in your browser, so the text never leaves your device.
