Word Counter
Count words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs in your text instantly.
Why word counts still matter in 2026
School assignments, ad copy, product listings, and SEO briefs still specify limits. A word counter is the fastest way to see whether a draft is inside the guardrails before you invest more editing time. It also gives character counts, which matter for short fields like meta descriptions, SMS templates, and form boxes.

How to interpret the numbers on this page
Watch words vs. characters, especially if your limit is “no more than 160 characters with spaces.” Sentence and paragraph counts are heuristics: punctuation choices can nudge the split slightly. If you are comparing to another tool, small differences are normal if their counting rules for hyphenated words and line breaks differ.

Text you paste here is intended to stay in your browser session for simple counting. The counter does not understand tone, plagiarism risk, or factual correctness—it only measures quantity.
