About Word Counter

Counts update in your browser as you type. Text is not submitted to Toolbase for counting.

Reading time is an estimate based on 180 words per minute; actual speed varies.

Up to 50,000 characters of draft text are saved in this browser’s local storage so they can reappear after a refresh. Clearing the editor removes that saved draft.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is reading time estimated?

The word count is divided by 180 words per minute and rounded to whole minutes. This is only a planning estimate.

Are spaces included in the character count?

The tool shows separate totals with and without whitespace.

Is my text saved?

The tool saves up to 50,000 characters locally in this browser so a page refresh can restore the draft. It is not submitted to Toolbase for counting. Use Clear to remove the local draft.
