About this tool
Useful for checking essays, captions, meta descriptions, or anything with a length limit. Word count splits on whitespace, sentence count looks for sentence-ending punctuation, and paragraph count looks for line breaks — so exact numbers can vary slightly depending on formatting quirks like abbreviations or unusual spacing.
How is reading time estimated?
This uses an average adult silent reading speed of about 225 words per minute. Actual reading time varies with text difficulty and individual reading speed.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Counting happens instantly in your browser as you type. Nothing you paste or type is sent to a server.
