Paste any text to instantly count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and estimated reading time — perfect for content briefs, meta fields and ad copy.
The Word & Character Counter gives you a live breakdown of any text the moment you paste it in: words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs and a realistic reading-time estimate. It's the fastest way to hit a target length for a meta description, a title tag, an ad headline, a content brief or an academic word limit.
Length is a constant constraint in SEO and content work — title tags get cut around 60 characters, meta descriptions around 155, tweets and ad headlines have hard caps, and writers are often briefed to a word count. Eyeballing it wastes time and guesses wrong. This counter updates on every keystroke so you always know exactly where you stand.
It's completely client-side: your text never leaves the browser and nothing is stored. Paste, read the numbers, adjust, and copy your text back out when it fits.
