Word & Character Counter

You're 50 words over the LinkedIn post limit and can't tell which paragraph to cut. Or you need to confirm a tweet fits within 280 characters — including that emoji. This counter gives you real-time word, character, sentence, and paragraph counts the moment you type or paste, so you always know where you stand against platform limits: Twitter/X: 280 characters, LinkedIn posts: 3,000 characters, Instagram captions: 2,200 characters, YouTube descriptions: 5,000 characters.

All counting runs entirely in your browser via JavaScript string methods and the native TextEncoder API for byte-size calculation. Your text is never sent to any server — no round-trips, no logging, no third-party tracking. That makes this tool safe for confidential documents and sensitive drafts.

Beyond basic counts, you get line counts, UTF-8 byte size, estimated reading time (200 words/min average) and speaking time (130 words/min). These are useful for presentations, video scripts, and podcast outlines where timing matters.

The keyword frequency analysis highlights your most-used words and shows each keyword's count and percentage in a visual bar chart. Toggle stop-word exclusion (words like "the," "and," "is") to focus on content-carrying terms — helpful for SEO keyword density checks. If you need to change the case of your text before analyzing it, the Text Case Converter handles that in one click. For checking how your content looks with formatting, try the Markdown Preview.

A note on CJK languages: Japanese, Chinese, and Korean text does not use spaces to separate words. The word count for these languages will undercount because the tool splits on whitespace. Character count, byte size, and line count remain accurate for CJK text. If you're working with CJK content, rely on character count as the primary metric instead.

The tool counts Unicode characters accurately, including emoji and multi-byte sequences, thanks to the TextEncoder API.
