Word Counter
Words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and reading time — counted live as you type or paste. No signup, no limits.
🔒 100% LOCAL — YOUR TEXT NEVER LEAVES YOUR DEVICEFrequently asked questions
Is my text uploaded or stored anywhere?
No. Counting happens live in your browser as you type — your text is never sent to a server, never stored, and disappears when you close the tab. That makes this counter safe for confidential documents, contracts, and unpublished writing.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time uses the common average of 225 words per minute for silent reading, and speaking time uses 150 words per minute — the pace of a clear presentation. Handy for speeches, videos, and podcasts.
Does it work for essays, tweets, and meta descriptions?
Yes — the character counts update live, so you can write against any limit: a 280-character post, a 160-character SEO meta description, or a 500-word essay.
Free forever, no account needed. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or tracked (see our Privacy Policy).
