Live word, character, sentence, paragraph and reading-time stats.
Your vote is saved on this device only.
The Word & Character Counter gives you live stats on any text you type or paste: word count, character count, sentence count, paragraph count, and estimated reading time, all updating as you write. It solves the everyday problem of checking whether a tweet, meta description, essay, or email fits a length limit without guessing or pasting into a heavier editor.
It is built for writers, students, marketers, and anyone working to a word or character budget. Because it is free and runs entirely in your browser, your text is never uploaded anywhere; counting happens locally, so even long or sensitive drafts stay private on your own device.
No. All counting runs locally in your browser, so your text never leaves your device and nothing is sent to a server.
The character total reflects every character you enter, including spaces and line breaks, which matters for limits like meta descriptions and tweets.
Reading time is derived from your word count using a typical average reading pace, giving you a quick approximation rather than an exact figure.
Sentences are detected from end punctuation such as periods, question marks, and exclamation points, while paragraphs are counted from blank-line breaks in your text.
Yes, it is completely free with no sign-up, and you can use it as often as you like.
