Examples
Blog post word count
Paste a draft blog post to check its length before publishing. A typical blog post runs 800–1500 words. The reading time estimate helps you judge whether the post length matches your audience's expectations.
Essay character limit check
Some submission forms impose a character limit rather than a word limit. Paste your essay text and watch the character count — with and without spaces — to stay within the allowed range.
About this tool
Instantly count words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and lines in any text. The reading time estimate assumes 200 words per minute — a common average for silent reading. Everything runs in your browser; nothing you paste is transmitted or stored.
