Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and reading time instantly as you type. Free, private and works right in your browser — no sign-up.
The Word Counter tells you exactly how long your writing is — words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, lines and estimated reading time — all updating live as you type or paste.
It is perfect for essays, assignments, blog posts, social captions and SEO meta descriptions where a length limit matters. Everything is counted in your browser, so your text is never uploaded.
It assumes an average reading speed of about 200 words per minute, a common benchmark for adult readers.
Both. You get a total character count and a separate count that excludes spaces, which is handy for strict limits.
No. Counting happens entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded or saved.
Sentences are detected by terminal punctuation — a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark ends one. It is a close estimate, so abbreviations like “Mr.” or decimals like “3.5” can nudge the count up slightly.
