About Word Counter
Count words online while you write, edit or review text. This browser-based word counter also shows useful character, sentence, paragraph and reading-time counts, with no account required.
This tool is available for browser processing. The main operation runs on your device when supported by the browser and selected format.
When to use this word counter
Use a word counter to check an essay, article, social post, product description or draft against a word limit. The count updates as you type or paste, so you can keep the text on screen while editing.
How to use this tool
- Paste text or add a supported file.
- Choose the operation, format or validation option.
- Run Word Counter and review the complete result, including errors or missing values.
- Copy or download the result after checking it in the destination application.
Format, privacy and compatibility
Text and data tools work best with valid UTF-8 input and a clear schema. Nested values, inconsistent rows, unusual delimiters and very large files can affect the result. Do not paste secrets or production credentials. Supported processing runs locally in the browser when available.
