Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and reading time in real time
Word limits still matter in 2026. SEO meta descriptions cap at 160 characters. Tweets still truncate at 280. Academic papers have strict page budgets. This counter gives you live feedback without leaving the page.
Students, writers, and marketers all need precise counts. Paste your draft, see numbers update instantly. No server round-trip, no waiting.
Paste plain text for accurate counts. Rich formatting brings invisible characters that throw off numbers.
Use the Reading Time metric to plan blog posts. Aim for 5-10 minutes for most audience retention.
Sentence count helps with rhythm. Too many short sentences feel choppy; too few long ones get skipped.
We divide total words by 200 (average reading speed) and round up. Technical content reads slower; fiction reads faster.
Docs may exclude headers, footers, or comments. We count exactly what's in the textarea.
No. Everything stays in your browser session. Close the tab, text is gone.
Yes. Responsive layout adapts to any screen size. Keyboard works normally.
