About Word Counter

The Word Counter tallies the words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs in your text as you type, and estimates reading time. It's essential for staying within limits on essays, articles, social posts, and meta descriptions. All counting happens locally in your browser, so your writing never leaves your device. For character-only limits use the Character Counter, and to tidy the text first try the Whitespace Remover.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is reading time estimated?

Reading time is based on the word count against an average adult reading speed of roughly 200-250 words per minute, giving a realistic estimate for articles and posts.

Is Word Counter free to use?

Yes. Word Counter is completely free with no sign-up, no subscription, and no usage limits. Every tool on CodeUtilityKit is free forever.

Is my data safe when I use Word Counter?

Absolutely. Word Counter runs entirely in your browser. Your input is processed locally with JavaScript and is never sent to, stored on, or logged by any server — so it is safe even for private or sensitive data.
