Paste or type any text and watch the word, character, sentence, line and reading-time counts update as you go. Nothing leaves your device.
Ever pasted something into a box that says "280 characters max" and played the delete-until-it-fits game? This little counter is built for exactly that moment — and about ten others like it.
What does it do? It counts. Words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, lines, and even a rough reading time. Type on the left and the numbers move on the right. No button to press, no refresh.
Why use it instead of your word processor's status bar? Because it's right here, in the browser, with no file to open. Writers trim tweets, students check essay limits, coders count tokens-ish — all without leaving the tab.
Privacy bit, since you asked: the text never leaves your machine. It's counted on the spot, in your browser, and we keep none of it. (We do run anonymous analytics so we know the tool works — full story in our privacy policy.)
Quick tip: reading time uses a plain 200-words-per-minute pace, so treat it as a ballpark, not a stopwatch. And if a count looks off, check for stray spaces — they count as characters too.
Paste or type text; the word, character, sentence, line and reading-time counts update instantly. Use Clear to start over or Copy text to grab it again.
