Character and Word Counter
Count every measurable aspect of your text instantly — characters with and without spaces, words, sentences, paragraphs, and lines. Updates live as you type.
What Does This Tool Do?
Ever needed to know exactly how long your text is? This tool counts everything for you — the total number of characters (including spaces), characters without spaces, the number of individual words, how many sentences you have, how many paragraphs, and how many lines. All of these counts update in real time as you type, so you always know exactly where you stand.
Key Features
How to Use This Tool
- Type or paste your text into the input area.
- All six counters update live — no need to press any button.
- Use the counts to check against your target word count or character limit.
How It Works
The tool measures your text in several ways simultaneously: total length for character count, length after removing spaces for the no-space count, splitting on whitespace for words, detecting . ! ? for sentences, blank lines for paragraphs, and line breaks for line count. All of these run instantly in your browser every time you type a character.
Common Use Cases
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it count spaces in the character total?

Is this useful for Twitter/Instagram limits?
Yes. Use it to stay under the 280-character tweet limit, the 2,200-character Instagram caption limit, or any other platform limit.
