Words, characters, sentences and reading time — counted live as you write.
Meta descriptions, tweets, abstracts, application forms — trim to the exact cap.
Counting runs locally — your text never reaches a server.
Numbers update as you type, so there's no paste-count-edit loop.
No account, no limits, no tracking of what you write.
Paste the text into the tool above. Words, characters and sentences are counted instantly — free, no account.
Both versions matter, so check which one your limit refers to — with spaces for social platforms, usually without for forms.
It's an estimate based on average adult reading speed of roughly 200–250 words per minute. Skimming is faster, technical text slower.
No. The counting runs entirely in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.
