Word Counter

Count words, characters, sentences, and reading time.

Paste any text to get an instant breakdown: word count, character count, sentence and paragraph counts, plus an estimated reading time.

Writers use it to hit brief lengths, students check essay limits, and marketers size up meta descriptions and ad copy. Counts update as you type, with no button to press.

Everything is computed locally — draft copy, résumés, and unpublished work never leave your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is reading time calculated?

At an average pace of 200 words per minute, rounded up to the next whole minute.

Does it count words the same way as Word or Google Docs?

Words are split on whitespace, so counts match closely for normal prose. Edge cases such as hyphenated compounds may differ by a word.

Do you keep what I paste?

No. Counting is instant, local, and forgotten when you close the tab.
