This free word counter helps you check the length of your writing in seconds. It is perfect for essays, articles, social media posts, and any content where word count matters. Your text is processed entirely in your browser and never leaves your device.
Use it together with our PDF word counter to analyze documents of any format.
Using the tool is simple. Type or paste your text into the box, then click the Count button. You will instantly see three numbers: the total word count, the character count, and the number of sentences. There is no sign-up, no limit on how much text you can check, and no file upload required.
Because everything runs locally in your browser, your writing stays completely private. Nothing you paste is ever sent to a server or stored anywhere.
Word count is important in many situations. Students need to meet essay and assignment length requirements. Writers track word counts to hit publishing standards. Marketers and social media managers stay within platform character limits. Translators and content writers use word counts for billing and client requirements.
