About Word Counter
Our Word Counter tool provides instant, comprehensive text statistics as you type. Simply paste or type your text and get an immediate breakdown of word count, character count (with and without spaces), sentence count, paragraph count, and estimated reading and speaking time. It also checks your character count against common platform limits — X/Twitter posts, SMS messages, Google title tags, meta descriptions, Instagram captions, and YouTube titles — so you know instantly if your text fits, and surfaces the words you've repeated most often, which is useful for catching accidental keyword stuffing or overused phrases before you publish. Everything runs locally in your browser — your text is never uploaded, stored, or sent to a server, so it's safe to paste drafts, resumes, or anything else you'd rather keep private.
Word count isn't the same as readability — see the guideFrequently Asked Questions
Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute, which is the average adult reading speed. Speaking time uses 130 words per minute.
Yes, the tool shows both total characters (including spaces, punctuation, and line breaks) and characters without spaces.
Sentences are counted by detecting end punctuation marks: periods (.), exclamation points (!), and question marks (?).
Each row compares your current character count to a common limit (like 280 for an X/Twitter post or 160 for an SMS) so you can see at a glance whether your text fits, and by how much.
There is no word limit. You can paste as much text as you need — the tool handles large documents easily.
