When to use word counter
A writing limit is easier to manage when the numbers are visible. Paste a draft to see the total and an estimated reading time based on 200 words per minute. Word boundaries use the browser international text segmenter when available, which works better across languages than counting spaces alone. The estimate is a guide, not a measurement of a particular reader.
How it works
- Paste or type your draft.
- Read the live counts and reading-time estimate.
- Edit the text until it fits your destination.

Platforms may count words and emoji differently. Whitespace-only lines do not count as paragraphs. Reading time assumes continuous prose.
