Word Counter

What Word Counter helps you do

Paste or type a draft to see its length and structure update instantly. The counter gives you words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, and an estimated reading time without sending the text to a server.

Text is processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored after your session.

How to use Word Counter

1. Paste or type the draft you want to measure.
2. Compare words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, and reading time as you edit.
3. Use the totals against your brief or platform limit; treat reading time as a planning estimate.

What you can do with Word Counter

• Count words and total characters as you type.
• Compare character totals with and without whitespace.
• Estimate sentences, paragraphs, and reading time in one view.
• Review copy privately in the browser with no account or document upload.

Example: check copy against a publishing brief

Paste the final draft and compare the word total with the brief. Use the character count for ad headlines, metadata, form fields, or platform limits, and scan the paragraph count to spot an overly dense section.

Reading time uses a simple 200-words-per-minute estimate, so treat it as a planning signal rather than a promise. For scripts or technical writing, readers may need longer than the estimate.

What to know before you start

• Hyphenated terms and unusual spacing can be counted differently by publishing platforms.
• Sentence detection is punctuation-based and may not interpret abbreviations or fragments perfectly.
• The tool measures structure; it does not judge originality, grammar, readability, or search quality.
