Word / Char / Line Counter
Count words, characters, lines, sentences, and estimate reading time — instantly, client-side.
About this tool
The Word Counter gives you a full statistical breakdown of any text: word count, character count (with and without spaces), line count, sentence count, paragraph count, byte size, and estimated reading time at 200 words per minute.
Paste a blog post, essay, social media caption, or code comment and instantly see all the numbers update. This is useful for meeting platform character limits (Twitter's 280 characters, SMS's 160 characters, meta description's ~155 characters), hitting word-count targets for essays or articles, or getting a quick sense of content length.
Everything runs locally — no data is sent to any server. Useful when working with drafts that contain sensitive or unpublished content.
