Count words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs in your text instantly. Free online word counter tool.
It counts words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and lines in real-time as you type or paste text. Statistics update instantly with every keystroke.
Words are counted by splitting text on whitespace (spaces, tabs, line breaks). Hyphenated words count as one word. Numbers and special characters surrounded by spaces count as words. Empty lines don't add to the word count.
This tool works with text you paste or type directly. Copy text from your Word document, PDF, or any source and paste it into the text area. The counter works instantly with any pasted content.
There's no practical limit. The tool handles texts with hundreds of thousands of characters. It runs entirely in your browser so performance depends on your device.
No. All counting happens locally in your browser. Your text is never sent to any server, stored, or logged. It's completely private and disappears when you close the page.
