What is the Word Counter?
The Word Counter measures your text and shows the numbers writers and SEOs check most: words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, reading time and keyword density.
It is built for bloggers, SEO consultants and small site owners who write meta titles, descriptions, posts and social copy against fixed limits. Paste a draft and see where it stands before you publish.
How to use the free Word Counter
- Paste or type your text: The counts update as you type. Use the example button to see how it works.
- Add a keyword (optional): Enter a word or phrase in the keyword box to see how many times it appears and its density.
- Read the results: Check words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, reading time and the most-used words.
- Compare with platform limits: The limits table shows your character count against each platform, so you can trim before posting.

Word Counter compared with other free tools
I compared this with the word counter on infidigit.com, read from its page on 22 October 2026.
| Check | This tool | infidigit.com |
|---|---|---|
| Metrics shown in the tool | Words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, lines, reading and speaking time, average word length, longest sentence | Words and characters shown in the interface I captured; the page text mentions more |
| Keyword density for a chosen phrase | Yes | Page text mentions word density; no keyword field seen |
| Character limits for X, meta tags, SMS, Instagram, LinkedIn | Yes, built-in table | Not mentioned |
| Most-used words list | Yes | Not shown |
| Signup | None | None mentioned |
Where they are ahead: infidigit.com states that it supports multiple languages and has no word limit, and its page has a FAQ answering questions about accuracy and special characters. This page makes no claim about language support.
Compared on 22 October 2026 by opening each tool and reading its page. Features can change.
What the Word Counter cannot do
- Word counts split text on spaces, so languages written without spaces, such as Chinese or Japanese, will not count correctly.
- Reading and speaking time are estimates based on an average speed, not your own pace.
- The platform limits are guides and can change. Check the platform if the limit matters.
- Keyword density counts exact matches of your phrase and does not tell you what density ranks.
- Sentence counts depend on punctuation, so lists and abbreviations can skew them.
Is my text or data sent anywhere?
Your text is counted in your browser and is not sent to this site or any other server. The Save button keeps snapshots in your own browser storage. The share link puts your text in the part of the URL after the # sign, which browsers do not send to servers, but anyone you give the link to can read it.
Word Counter FAQ
How do I count words in my text?
Paste or type it into the box. The word count updates as you type, along with characters, sentences, paragraphs and reading time.
Does the word counter include spaces in the character count?
It shows the character count and the count without spaces side by side, so you can use whichever your platform needs.
How do I check keyword density?
Type your keyword or phrase into the keyword box. The tool shows how many times it appears and its share of total words in percent.
What is a good keyword density for SEO?
There is no density Google rewards. Use the keyword where it reads naturally and use the number only to spot stuffing or a missing keyword.
What are the character limits for meta titles and descriptions?
Common guides are about 60 characters for a title and about 160 for a description. Google cuts by pixel width, so these are guides, not hard limits.
Is my text saved or uploaded?
No. The counting runs in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
Is the word counter free?
Yes. It is free and needs no signup.
