Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this word counter free?

- How do I count words in text online?
- Paste or type your text into the box above. The word count tool displays results instantly — total words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs update in real time as you type.
- Does this show character count with spaces?
- Yes. The character counter shows both character count with spaces and character count without spaces separately. This is useful for Twitter/X character limits, meta descriptions, and other length-constrained fields.
- Can I count letters and spaces separately?
- Yes. The letter counter shows letters only (A–Z, no spaces, punctuation, or numbers), and the character count with spaces shows every character including whitespace — making it easy to count letters and spaces independently.
- What is the difference between word counter and character counter?
- A word counter counts the number of distinct words separated by spaces (e.g. "hello world" = 2 words). A character counter counts every individual character including letters, spaces, and punctuation. Both are shown in this word and character counter.
- Does this work as a sentence counter and paragraph counter?
- Yes. The tool counts sentences (splits on . ! ?) and paragraphs (splits on blank lines), so you get a full text stats breakdown — not just word count.
- Can I use this as a text length checker?
- Absolutely. The character count is the text length in characters, and the word count gives text length in words. Both update in real time — making this the most convenient text length checker available.
- Is my text uploaded to a server?
- No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your text is never sent to any server, making this word count tool 100% private and secure.
