Type or paste your text, or upload a .txt file, and see live word, character, sentence, paragraph and line counts — nothing ever leaves your browser.
Word Counter is a free tool for counting words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and lines in any piece of text. Type directly into the box or switch to file mode and upload a .txt file — the counts update instantly either way, and you can download a plain-text report of the results together with the original text. Whether you're checking an essay against a word limit, trimming a social media post to fit a character cap, or just curious how long a document is, everything runs locally in your browser: your text is never uploaded to a server.
Type or paste text directly, or switch to "Upload file" and pick a .txt file from your device.
Characters, words, sentences, paragraphs and lines update instantly as you type or as soon as a file loads.
Click "Download results" to save a text file with all the counts plus the original text, for your records.
Your text is counted entirely in your browser — never uploaded, logged, or stored anywhere.
Paste text directly, or upload a .txt file — either way the same live counts apply.
Characters (with or without spaces), words, sentences, paragraphs and lines, all at once.
Count as much text as you like, with no limits, sign-up or hidden fees.
