About This Tool

Writing to a limit — 280 characters for a tweet, 150 for an Instagram caption, 800 words for a submission — you need to know where you stand as you write, not after you're done. Paste or type your text and the counts update in real time. No button needed.

Features

  • ✓Six stats update as you type — Characters (with spaces), characters (without spaces), words, sentences, lines, and paragraphs — all updating live.
  • ✓Mixed-language text handled well — English words count by spaces. CJK characters count individually. Mixed English/Chinese content works correctly.
  • ✓No button to press — Everything updates the moment you type or paste. Doesn't interrupt your flow.
  • ✓Paragraphs and lines counted too — Blank lines separate paragraphs, newlines count as lines — same logic as Word and Markdown.
  • ✓Your text stays private — Processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, so you can safely paste drafts or sensitive content.

FAQ

How are words counted for non-English text?
English uses space-separated word counting. For CJK languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) that don't use spaces between words, each non-whitespace CJK character counts as one unit. A mixed English/Chinese sentence counts both. For rigorous CJK word segmentation, you'd need a dedicated NLP tool.
Should I use the count with or without spaces?
Depends on the platform. Social media usually counts with spaces. Academic journals and Chinese publications often specify without. Both are shown here so you can check either.
How are paragraphs counted?
Consecutive non-empty lines form one paragraph; blank lines are the divider. A document with no blank lines is one paragraph. Same logic as Word and most text editors.
Is this useful for SEO writing?
Yes. English SEO articles are usually measured in words — 750–2,000 is a common target range. Chinese SEO content is measured in characters (excluding spaces) — 1,000–2,000 is typical. Both stats are right there as you write.
