What this word count tool does
This tool gives immediate text metrics while you type or paste. It is useful for email limits, ad copy, social posts, metadata fields, and document quality checks.
All counting runs instantly in your browser so you can draft, edit, and validate text length in one workflow.
How counts are calculated
- Words: token count based on visible word groups
- Characters: all characters excluding line breaks
- Sentences: groups ending in sentence punctuation
- Paragraphs: non-empty text lines
- Lines: text lines split by line breaks
- Spaces: literal space characters
- Characters (no spaces): characters excluding literal spaces
- Reading time: estimated from word count at standard on-screen reading speed
Why use a live text counter
A live counter helps prevent limit errors before publishing. It also improves revision speed because each edit updates the metrics immediately.
Works on desktop and mobile
The tool is responsive and works across modern browsers on phones, tablets, and desktops.
