Word & Character Counter
Count words, characters, sentences and paragraphs instantly. Free online text statistics tool for writers and students.
Frequently asked questions
- Does this counter support Chinese text?
- Yes. Alongside the standard word count it shows a separate Chinese character count, and sentence detection recognizes both English and Chinese punctuation.
- How are sentences and paragraphs counted?
- Sentences are split on periods, question and exclamation marks, including their full-width Chinese versions. Paragraphs are separated by blank lines.
- Is my text uploaded to a server?
- No. All counting happens in your browser with JavaScript, so you can safely paste drafts, private documents or confidential writing.
- Is there a text length limit?
- There is no fixed limit. Very long texts simply take your browser a moment longer, because the whole textarea is processed locally.
This tool runs entirely in your browser. No data is uploaded anywhere.
