Word Counter – real-time word and character count in your browser

This free word counter tool gives you instant feedback on your text as you type. It tracks the total word count, character count, and other basic stats automatically. Whether you're writing for school, work, social media, or just need to stay within a limit, this tool helps you stay on track without any distractions or extra steps.

Real-time word and character statistics

You'll see word count, character count (with and without spaces), sentence count, and paragraph count update live as you type or paste text. The tool also gives you averages like words per sentence and characters per word, which can be helpful if you're working on tone or structure.

Reading time and speaking time estimates are also included, so you can plan how long it will take to present or go through the content. The word counter is designed to be simple but detailed, giving you what you need without getting in your way.

Check character limits for social media

If you're writing posts for Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn or Facebook, it's useful to know where the platform limits are. The tool shows common limits for each, along with visual indicators so you know when you're close or over. The same applies to meta titles and descriptions for SEO.

Instead of guessing, you'll know exactly how many characters or words you've used. This helps avoid last-minute edits or rejected content when publishing online.

Keyword density and repetition

The built-in keyword frequency analysis gives you a quick overview of which words appear most often. That's useful when you want to avoid repetition or keep an eye on SEO keywords without overdoing it. It's especially helpful for blog posts, ads or content that needs to sound natural.

Reading and speaking time

You'll also get estimates on how long your text takes to read or say out loud. Reading time is based on 200 words per minute and speaking time uses 150 words per minute as a reference. This is practical for anyone creating video scripts, presentations or voiceover content.

Everything runs locally and privately

The word counter works entirely in your browser. No text is ever uploaded or saved anywhere. You can use it safely with confidential material, drafts or anything you don't want to share. There's no sign-up, no tracking, and nothing leaves your device.

It even works offline once the page is loaded, which makes it a reliable tool for writers on the go or anyone working without a stable internet connection.

Who is this for?

This tool is useful for students, bloggers, marketers, journalists, developers and anyone who needs to count words or characters quickly. Whether you're writing essays, captions, emails or anything in between, a live word count helps you stay focused and hit your targets.

It's not just a word counter. It's also a character counter, reading time checker, keyword analyzer and general-purpose text tool – all in one place.
