Word & Character Counter
Count words, characters, sentences, lines and paragraphs live as you type — free and 100% in your browser.
What this tool does
Paste or type any text and see the word count, character count (with and without spaces), sentence, line and paragraph counts update instantly. Nothing is sent anywhere — the counting happens in your browser, so it works offline and stays private.
Why word and character counts matter
Meta descriptions, tweets, essays, cover letters and ad copy all have length limits. Checking the exact count before you publish saves you from truncated titles or rejected forms.
Frequently asked questions
How are words counted?
Words are counted as groups of characters separated by spaces or line breaks. Extra whitespace is ignored.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. All counting runs locally in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
Does it count characters with or without spaces?
Both — you can see the total character count and the count excluding spaces side by side.
Does it check platform length limits?
Yes — it shows live badges for the SEO title (60), meta description (160) and tweet (280) limits, turning red when you go over.
