Our free online Word Counter tool gives you instant, accurate counts of words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, and paragraphs as you type. Whether you're working on an essay, blog post, social media update, or any document with a character limit, this tool has you covered.
The Word Counter also estimates your reading time based on the average adult reading speed of 200 words per minute, and speaking time at 130 words per minute — perfect for preparing speeches, podcasts, or presentations.
Unlike Microsoft Word or Google Docs, our tool works entirely in your browser — no signup, no downloads, no account required. Your text never leaves your device, ensuring 100% privacy. It's fast, free, and works on all devices including smartphones and tablets.
