The online word and character counter measures words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs and estimated reading time while you type. It is useful when a platform, assignment or publishing workflow has a precise length limit, and all text stays in your browser.

Check an essay or application limit, Fit a social post or advertisement, Estimate article reading time, and Compare source text with a translation

Count the final version rather than an early draft. Punctuation, line breaks and extra spaces can change character, sentence and paragraph totals, so paste the exact text you plan to publish.
