Word Counter

How it works

1. Paste or type your text.
2. Counts update live as you type.

Supported formats & limitations

• Input
  Any plain text, pasted or typed.
• Output
  Word, character, sentence, and paragraph counts.

• Sentence counting is based on punctuation (., !, ?) and may miscount unusual abbreviations or formatting.
• Very long text (well over a million characters) may slow down your browser tab.

Frequently asked questions

Is my text sent anywhere? ›

No, counting happens entirely in your browser as you type — nothing is uploaded.

How is a "word" defined? ›

Any sequence of characters separated by whitespace counts as one word.

Does it count characters with or without spaces? ›

Both are shown separately, so you can use whichever your context (e.g. a character limit) requires.

Troubleshooting

Why does the sentence count look wrong? ›

Sentence counting looks for ., !, or ? followed by a space — abbreviations like "e.g." or decimal numbers can occasionally be miscounted as sentence breaks.

Why did the counts disappear? ›

The text box is empty — counts reappear as soon as you start typing or pasting again.
