Count characters, words, sentences, and paragraphs. Get reading time estimates and keyword density analysis.
I find myself constantly checking text length - whether it's making sure a tweet fits, estimating how long a blog post will take to read, or checking if my LinkedIn post is within limits. Most word counters out there are either too basic (just word count) or overloaded with features I don't need.
This tool gives you everything relevant in one view: character counts, word counts, reading estimates, and social media limits. Type or paste your text and see all the stats update instantly.
Pro tip: If you're writing content for the web, combine this with the Markdown Preview to see how your text will render, or use the Lorem Ipsum Generator to create placeholder content.
The reading time is based on 200 words per minute, which is the average for adult readers. Technical content might take longer to read, while simple prose might be faster. Use it as a rough estimate rather than an exact measure.
Common words like "the", "and", "is", and other stop words are excluded because they don't provide meaningful insight into your content. The keyword density shows only the content-bearing words that actually matter for SEO and topic analysis.
No, everything runs locally in your browser. Your text is never sent to any server. When you close the page, the text is gone. This makes it safe to analyze sensitive content.
For SEO purposes, aim for 1-3% density for your primary keywords. Higher than that might look like keyword stuffing to search engines. However, always prioritize natural, readable content over hitting specific density targets.
