A word counter is a free online word count tool that analyses text and tells you exactly how many words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs it contains. It is essential for writers, students, bloggers, marketers, and professionals who need to count words in text quickly and meet specific word count requirements for essays, articles, or social media posts.
Our word counter online works instantly in your browser - just paste your text and see the results in real time. No sign-up, no downloads, completely free. Every word, character, and paragraph is counted on your device, and we never send your text to our servers. If you only need to track characters for a tweet or meta description, our character counter is the focused alternative, and you can write longer drafts in the free online notepad.
Simply paste your text into the box above or start typing directly. The counter updates in real time as you write, showing you words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and lines.
You can also see estimated reading and speaking times, helpful for preparing presentations or estimating how long a blog post will take to read.
