Word and Character Count Online

Count words, characters, lines, and paragraphs in pasted text without uploading files.

No signup: Open the page, paste text, and copy the result without creating an account.
Browser-local: Normal text processing runs in your browser, so pasted text is not sent to a server.
Clean output: Use trim, empty-line cleanup, dedupe, or format options where the tool supports them.
Sample included: Each tool starts with editable sample input so you can verify the behavior first.

Privacy, review, and limitations

The current version processes pasted text in your browser for normal use, and the page explains the tool behavior that is visible in the interface. Review the preview before copying output into another workflow, especially when the source text came from PDFs, spreadsheets, exports, or copied tables.

Different platforms may define words and characters differently, especially around punctuation, emoji, and non-English scripts.

Use the target platform's own counter as the final source of truth for strict submission limits.

Frequently asked questions

The current counter treats groups of non-space characters as words.

Does it count spaces?
