What this tool does
A word and character counter tallies your text as you type — words, characters, sentences and paragraphs. It is essential for students meeting essay limits, writers tracking length, and anyone working to the strict character limits of social media, ads or meta descriptions.
How to use this tool
- Paste or type your text into the box.
- Watch the counts update instantly as you write.
- Check your text against any word or character limit.
- Edit until you hit your target length.
Why it matters
Meeting length requirements matters for grades, publishing and online posts that cut off after a set number of characters. A live counter means you always know exactly where you stand without guessing or pasting into another app.
