About this tool

Live statistics for any text: words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and reading time.

BrainCoder's word and character counter is a fast, accurate online tool that instantly tallies the number of words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs in any text. Whether you're meeting a word count requirement for an essay, optimizing content for SEO, or checking the length of a social media post, this counter gives you precise statistics in real time. Just paste your text and watch the numbers update as you type.

This tool is invaluable for writers, students, marketers, and content creators who need to track text length without the overhead of a full word processor. It counts words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, and paragraphs — giving you a comprehensive overview of your text's structure. It's also useful for developers checking string lengths or validating input fields.

Like all BrainCoder tools, the word counter runs entirely in your browser. Your text is never uploaded or stored anywhere, so you can safely use it for confidential documents, personal writing, or proprietary content. It's free, instant, and requires no registration — just paste and count.
