About Word Counter

Word Counter is a free tool that counts your text instantly — words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and more — right as you type or paste. No sign-up, no clutter, just the numbers you need.

Everything you need at a glance

Beyond a simple word and character count, it shows characters without spaces, sentence and paragraph counts, estimated reading and speaking time, and a breakdown of your most-used keywords. Highlight any part of your text and it counts just that selection, too.

Built for writers, students, and professionals

Whether you're staying under an essay limit, hitting a word count for an assignment, trimming a meta description, fitting a social post, or checking how long a speech will run, Word Counter gives you the answer immediately — and updates live with every keystroke.

Private by design

Your text never leaves your device. Everything is counted locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere. You can paste sensitive drafts with confidence. For details on the cookies used by advertising, see our Privacy Policy.

Free and instant

There's no account and nothing to install. It works on phones, tablets, and computers, and it's designed to load and respond instantly.
