Word Counter

A word is any sequence of characters separated by whitespace (spaces, tabs, or line breaks). This tool counts words by splitting text on whitespace and filtering out empty strings.

The tool provides two character counts: total characters (including spaces) and characters without spaces. Total characters includes all characters in your text, while characters without spaces excludes spaces, tabs, and line breaks.

Sentences are counted by splitting text on sentence-ending punctuation marks (periods, exclamation marks, and question marks). Multiple consecutive punctuation marks are treated as a single sentence break.

Paragraphs are counted by splitting text on double newlines (blank lines). If there are no double newlines, the entire text is counted as one paragraph.

No, all counting happens entirely in your browser. Your text is never saved, stored, or sent to any server. The counts update in real-time as you type.

Yes! The character count (with and without spaces) is perfect for checking limits on platforms like Twitter/X (280 characters), LinkedIn posts, Facebook posts, and other platforms with character restrictions.
