About Word counter
Instantly count words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences and paragraphs, and estimate the reading time of any text you type or paste.
Useful for essays with a word limit, social media posts, search engine descriptions or academic work.
Example: if an application asks for “500 words maximum”, paste your text and check the total before sending it; if a field limits characters, such as a profile bio, look at the count with spaces, which is what most forms use.
Frequently asked questions
Is my text saved or sent anywhere?
No. The text is processed in your browser and never leaves your device.
How is reading time calculated?
It is estimated from the word count using an average adult reading speed.
Does it count accented words correctly?
Yes. Words with accents or special letters are counted as a single word.
