What this tool does

A word counter tells you exactly how many words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs a piece of text contains, and estimates how long it takes to read out loud.

How it works

  1. Paste or type your text into the box above.
  2. Every stat updates live as you type — no button to press.
  3. Use the counts to hit an essay's word limit, a tweet's length, or just check your work.
Example: Paste a 500-word essay draft and instantly see it's actually 523 words over 4 paragraphs and 28 sentences — about a 3-minute read.
Yes. The word counter is completely free, with no signup, no watermark, and no limit on how many times you use it.
No — paste your text and get your result immediately, with no account and no email required.
No practical limit — it's built to handle anything from a short caption to a full document.
No. Text you paste in is processed in your browser session only and isn't saved or shared.
Yes — "word counter" and "word counter online" describe the same task. This page is built to handle that search directly, without redirecting you elsewhere.
