Free online word counter with character count, reading time, and keyword analysis.
Our free word counter tool helps you analyze text instantly. Perfect for writers, students, and professionals who need to track word count, character count, and reading time for their content.
What statistics does the word counter provide?
It counts words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, and paragraphs. It also estimates reading time (200 wpm) and speaking time (130 wpm), plus shows top keyword frequency.
Is there a character or word limit?
Yes: up to 100,000 characters per text, which is roughly 15,000 to 20,000 English words. Everything is counted live in your browser.
Can I use this for SEO keyword analysis?
Yes! The keyword density feature shows your most frequently used words, which is helpful for SEO content optimization and ensuring proper keyword distribution.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time assumes 200 words per minute and speaking time 130 words per minute, rounded up to whole minutes. For Chinese, Japanese or Korean text it uses faster rates (500 and 350 per minute), because each counted word is much shorter.
Can I use Word Counter on my phone?
Yes, Word Counter works on any device with a modern web browser, including smartphones and tablets. The interface adapts to your screen size.
Does the word counter support all languages?
Yes. For languages that put spaces between words, words are split on spaces. For Chinese, Japanese and Korean, the counter uses your browser’s built-in word segmentation (Intl.Segmenter) to find word boundaries, so counts stay meaningful without spaces. Character counts work the same in every language.
