About Word Counter
The Word Counter is a fast, reliable tool for counting words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs in any text. Whether you're writing a blog post with a specific word count target, crafting a tweet within character limits, or preparing an essay with length requirements, this tool provides instant, accurate statistics. Unlike other word counters, this tool processes everything locally in your browser — your text never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy. It correctly handles edge cases like multiple spaces, line breaks, and special characters to give you the most accurate count possible. Writers, students, content marketers, and social media managers rely on word counters daily to ensure their content meets platform-specific length requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the word counter handle multiple spaces?
Our word counter intelligently collapses multiple consecutive spaces into one, so extra spacing won't inflate your word count. It uses the same word boundary detection used by professional writing software.
Does the character count include spaces?
We display both counts: total characters (including spaces) and characters without spaces. This is useful for platforms like Twitter that count all characters, as well as for SMS messages where space-free counts matter.
Can I use this for academic writing?
Absolutely! The word counter is perfect for essays, research papers, and dissertations where you need to meet minimum or maximum word count requirements. It also counts sentences and paragraphs for structure analysis.
Is my text stored or sent to a server?
No. The Word Counter runs 100% client-side in your browser. Your text is never transmitted to any server, ensuring complete privacy and data security.
