Count words, characters (with/without spaces), lines, sentences, paragraphs, and bytes. Live as you type. 100% in your browser.
About Word & Character Counter
The Word & Character Counter tallies your text as you type. Paste or write into the box and it reports words, characters with and without spaces, lines, sentences, paragraphs, and the byte size of the content. Every figure updates immediately with no button to press.
The counting runs entirely in your browser, so whatever you paste stays on your device. It is useful for staying within a character limit on a post or meta description, checking essay length, or estimating how large a block of text will be when stored.
Frequently asked questions
- Does it count characters with or without spaces?
- It shows both figures so you can match whichever limit a form or platform applies.
- How are sentences counted?
- Sentences are estimated from terminal punctuation, so unusual formatting can affect the count slightly.
- What does the byte count mean?
- It is the size of the text encoded as UTF-8, which helps when a field has a byte rather than character limit.
