Word & Character Counter
Count words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs.
About this tool
Knowing how many words and characters you have matters for essays, social posts, and SEO. Our word and character counter updates in real time as you type or paste. You get the total word count, character count with and without spaces, and often sentence and paragraph counts so you can meet limits or hit targets. Writers use it to stay within assignment or submission limits; marketers use it for meta descriptions and headlines. The tool runs entirely in your browser, so your text is never sent to any server. No sign-up, no ads that get in the way, and no data stored. Just paste, type, and see your counts.
