Word Counter

Count words, characters, sentences and paragraphs instantly.

About this tool

The Word Counter tool instantly analyzes your text and displays the number of words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs in real time. It’s ideal for writers, students, journalists, SEO specialists, and anyone working with word limits, content briefs, or platform requirements. Simply type or paste your content into the text box and watch the counts update automatically. This makes it easy to meet academic word limits, optimize SEO content length, track social media character limits, or review writing structure quickly and accurately on any device. If you only care about character limits (with and without spaces), use the Character Counter. To clean messy pasted content before counting, run it through Remove Extra Spaces or Remove Line Breaks first.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Type or paste your text into the input box.
  2. View the word, character, sentence and paragraph counts instantly.
  3. Copy or export the results if needed.
