Word Counter

Productivity

Count words, characters & more

The Word Counter analyzes your text and instantly displays the number of words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, and paragraphs. It is an essential tool for writers, students, content creators, and anyone who needs to meet specific text length requirements.

Social media platforms, college essays, cover letters, and SEO meta descriptions all have character or word limits. Instead of manually counting or relying on a full word processor, you can paste your text here and get an accurate count in under a second. The counter updates in real time as you type or edit.

The tool processes everything in your browser. Your text is never uploaded or stored, making it safe for confidential documents, drafts, and personal writing.

How to Use

1. Type or paste your text into the large text area.
2. The word count, character count, sentence count, and paragraph count update instantly.
3. Use the character count (with and without spaces) to check against limits on social media or forms.
4. Edit your text directly in the tool and watch the counts adjust in real time.
5. Clear the text area to reset all counts to zero.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the tool count sentences?

Sentences are counted based on ending punctuation marks: periods, question marks, and exclamation points. Abbreviations with periods may affect the count slightly.

Does it count characters with or without spaces?

Both. The tool displays the total character count including spaces and a separate count excluding spaces.

Can I paste formatted text from Word or Google Docs?

Yes. Pasting rich text will strip formatting and count the plain text content. The counts will be accurate regardless of the source.

Is there a maximum text length?

There is no hard limit. The tool can handle long texts, though very large documents (100,000+ words) may cause slight delays in the count update.
