Word Counter & Character Counter

Free online word counter and character counter that works instantly in your browser. Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and more in real time as you type or paste. Unlike other word counters that are cluttered with ads and send your text to external servers, our tool processes everything locally on your device — your text never leaves your browser.

Perfect for writers, students, bloggers, SEO professionals, social media managers, and developers who need accurate text statistics without compromising privacy. Whether you're checking essay word limits, optimizing meta descriptions, or analyzing keyword density for SEO, this tool delivers instant, accurate results with a clean, distraction-free interface.

Built for both casual users and developers, it includes advanced stats like UTF-8 byte count, unique word analysis, and social media character limit tracking — features you won't find in most word counters.

Key Capabilities

  • Real-time counting: Word count, character count (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and lines update instantly as you type or paste.
  • Reading & speaking time: Estimates based on research-backed averages (238 wpm reading, 150 wpm speaking) help you plan presentations and content length.
  • Social media limits: Visual progress bars show how your text fits within Twitter/X (280), Instagram (2,200), LinkedIn (3,000), and Meta description (160) character limits.
  • Keyword density analysis: Identifies your top 15 most-used keywords with frequency counts and density percentages — essential for SEO content optimization.
  • Developer stats: UTF-8 byte count, unique word count, and average word length — metrics developers need for API payloads, database fields, and encoding work.
  • File upload support: Upload .txt, .md, .json, .csv, .xml, and other text files directly — no need to copy-paste from documents.

Privacy & Security

Your text never leaves your browser. All word counting, character counting, and text analysis happens 100% locally using client-side JavaScript. We don't send your text to any server, and we don't store, log, or track your content in any way.

This makes our word counter safe for confidential documents, academic essays, business reports, legal text, and any sensitive content. Unlike many online word counters that transmit your text to their servers for processing, everything here runs in your browser's memory and is cleared when you close the tab.
