How It Works
The word counter trims the text, splits it into words, and counts characters with and without spaces. It helps writers, students, marketers, and editors quickly check length limits and readability constraints.

Paste a paragraph, article draft, meta description, or assignment text to see word count, character count, and related text statistics instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this save my text?

Can I use this for SEO writing?
