About this Tool

Do you need to know exactly how long your essay or social media post is? Our free Word Counter counts every word and letter for you as you type.

It works right in your browser, so your writing stays completely private. Many assignments, articles, and social platforms have strict limits on how much you can write.

Twitter limits your characters, while school essays often have minimum word counts. Instead of trying to count manually, just paste your text into this tool.

It instantly updates with your exact word count, character count, and even tells you how many sentences you have written and how long it takes to read.
