Word & Character Counter

This counter analyses your writing as you type and reports the number of words, characters with and without spaces, sentences and paragraphs, alongside an estimated reading time. It also surfaces keyword density, so you can see which terms dominate a draft and rebalance the wording before you publish. Because the figures update live, you always know exactly where a piece stands against a limit.

Students working to a strict essay limit, copywriters held to a character budget for ads or meta descriptions, and SEO writers tuning content length all depend on accurate numbers. The tool splits text on the same whitespace and punctuation boundaries used by Microsoft Word and Google Docs, so the totals match what graders, social platforms and content management systems expect rather than drifting by a few words.

All counting happens locally in your browser, so your draft is never uploaded or stored anywhere. That makes it safe for confidential documents, client copy and unpublished manuscripts, and there is no sign-up and no upload step to slow you down. Open it whenever you need a quick, trustworthy count while you write or edit.
