About Word Counter

Word Counter is a free online text analysis tool that provides comprehensive statistics about your written content in real-time. As you type or paste text, it instantly calculates word count, character count (with and without spaces), sentence count, paragraph count, and estimated reading time based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute. Perfect for students tracking essay requirements, content writers optimizing for SEO, social media managers staying within character limits, and authors monitoring manuscript progress. The tool processes everything client-side in your browser, ensuring complete privacy—your text never leaves your device or gets sent to any server. Common use cases include checking academic paper word count requirements, verifying blog post length for SEO targets (typically 1000-2000 words), ensuring social media posts stay within platform limits (280 characters for Twitter, 63,206 for Facebook), tracking novel writing progress, and analyzing document readability through sentence and paragraph statistics. The real-time update feature means you don't need to click any buttons—statistics refresh automatically as you type, making it ideal for rapid content creation and editing workflows. Works offline once loaded, compatible with all modern browsers, and completely free with no signup required.
