About
About this tool
A fast, private word counter for anything you write: blog posts, essays, product descriptions, ads and social posts. As you type it counts words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs and unique words, and estimates reading time (238 words per minute) and speaking time (150 words per minute).
Limit bars show how your text fits common constraints at a glance: roughly 60 characters for an SEO title and 160 for a meta description (Google actually truncates by pixel width, so treat these as guides), 160 for an SMS (70 if it contains emoji or non-Latin script), 280 for a post on X, 2,200 for an Instagram caption and 3,000 for a LinkedIn post.
The top-words panel shows the terms you use most, with an option to skip stop words, which helps you spot repetition before you publish. Nothing leaves your browser.
