About this tool
Paste or write text and get an instant breakdown: words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, an estimated reading time, how you compare against common platform limits (X/Twitter posts, meta descriptions, SMS), and the words you use most often. Handy for essays, meta descriptions, social posts, or any place with a length limit. The text stays in your browser.
How to use it
- 1 Type directly, or paste text into the box.
- 2 The counts, platform limits and keyword list update on every keystroke.
- 3 Use the "characters (no spaces)" figure for strict character limits.
- 4 Check the platform-limit bar to see if your text fits a tweet, meta description or SMS.
Frequently asked questions
How is a "word" counted?
Any run of non-space characters separated by whitespace counts as one word.
How is reading time estimated?
Word count divided by 200 words per minute, rounded. Technical text reads slower.
Is my text stored?
No. Nothing is saved or sent; closing the tab clears it.
How is the "most-used words" list built?
Common short filler words (the, and, of, and so on) are excluded, and the remaining words are ranked by how often they appear - handy for spotting repetition or checking keyword focus.
