Word & Character Counter

About the Word & Character Counter

This counter instantly shows word, character, sentence, and paragraph totals so writers, SEOs, and product teams can hit platform limits and editorial targets without guesswork.

Why Teams Use This Counter

Real-time metrics for writers, UX microcopy, and paid media teams.

Counts sentences and paragraphs for readability reviews.

Works offline in your browser—no drafts ever leave your device.

How to Use the Counter

Paste or type your content into the input box—emails, landing pages, Amazon listings, or social captions all work.

Watch live counts update for words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, and paragraphs as you edit.

Compare the totals against platform requirements such as Google meta descriptions (155 characters) or LinkedIn post limits (3,000 characters).

Copy the optimized text once you meet your target count and publish with confidence.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Pasting formatted HTML and expecting the count to match published copy; switch to plain text before counting.

Assuming hashtags or emojis count as whole words—platforms treat them differently, so review both character totals.

Ignoring character-without-spaces counts when preparing SMS or push notifications that discount whitespace.

FAQ

Does the counter handle long-form articles?

Yes. It processes thousands of words instantly, making it ideal for blog posts, ebooks, and transcripts.

What counts as a word?

Words are split by whitespace, so punctuation attached to a word still counts as one word, similar to how SEO platforms calculate length.

Are spaces included in the character count?

You get both totals: characters with spaces for most platforms and characters without spaces for SMS or engineering limits.

Does my text get uploaded anywhere?

No. All calculations run locally in your browser for complete privacy.
