About Word Counter
Whether you're writing an essay with a word target, an article that needs to fit a brief, or a post that has to stay punchy, knowing your exact word count keeps you on track. Guessing leads to rewrites, and word-processor counters aren't always handy. A Word Counter gives you the numbers the second you need them.
ToolHub's Word Counter tallies words, characters, and sentences and estimates your reading time as you go. Paste or type your text and the stats update instantly. It runs in your browser with no signup and nothing to install, and it's free to use as often as you like. Your writing isn't uploaded anywhere, so drafts stay private.
