Knowing your word and character count matters for tweets, meta descriptions, essays with strict limits, and cover letters. This free word counter updates live as you type, so you always know where you stand. Once your text is polished, you can adjust its formatting with our case converter.
Beyond the basics, it also counts sentences and paragraphs and estimates reading time, which is useful for blog posts, scripts, and any writing where pacing matters.
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your text is never uploaded or stored, so you can paste sensitive drafts, essays, or documents without worry.
