About this Word Counter
If you need to know how long your text is—for an assignment, a blog post, a social caption, or a meta description—this word counter gives you clear, instant numbers. Paste or type into the box and see live updates for word count, character count (with and without spaces), sentence count, paragraph count, and estimated reading time. No upload, no account, and no data sent to any server: everything runs in your browser so your text stays private.
The tool is built for speed and clarity. Results update as you type, with no page reloads. You can copy the stats with one click or clear the field and start over. You get word count, character count with and without spaces, sentence and paragraph counts, and an estimated reading time based on average reading speed (about 200–250 words per minute for typical content). The word counter works on desktop and mobile. It is free to use and does not store or transmit your text. We built it so people can quickly answer how long their text is without leaving the page or signing in.
Word Counter FAQ
What does the word counter count?
It counts words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and lines, and estimates reading time. Words are groups of characters separated by spaces or punctuation; numbers count as words. Character count includes all visible characters, including emojis and symbols; the "without spaces" metric excludes only whitespace.
Is my text stored or sent to a server?
No. The word counter runs entirely in your browser. Your text is never uploaded or stored on our servers, so it stays private. We built the tool so you can check length and stats without sending your content anywhere.
Is the word counter free?
Yes. The word counter is free to use with no signup or account required. You can use it as often as you like.
How accurate is the reading time estimate?
Reading time is based on average reading speed (about 200–250 words per minute for typical, non-technical content). It is an estimate meant to give you a rough idea of how long a piece might take to read; actual time will vary by reader and content.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The interface is responsive and works on phones and tablets. You can paste or type text and see the same counts and reading time on any device.
