Count words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs in your text. Calculate reading time.
About Word Counter
A word counter is an essential writing companion for anyone who works with text — students, bloggers, copywriters, journalists, and professionals drafting reports or emails. It instantly counts words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs while also estimating reading time, so you always know how long your content will take an audience to read.
The tool analyzes your text in real time as you type or paste, giving you live feedback on length and structure. Reading time is estimated using the average adult reading speed, which makes it useful for planning blog posts, scripts, speeches, or submissions that must fall within a strict word limit.
When to Use Word Counter
Use it to check that a blog post meets your target length, that an essay respects a word limit, or to measure the density of short social posts like tweets or captions.
Pro Tip
Paste the finished draft and check both word count and reading time — aiming for under 7 minutes keeps most online readers engaged.
