About Text Counter

Count words, characters, lines, sentences, and bytes instantly with this free online text counter. Live statistics update as you type or paste, which makes it useful for meta descriptions, social posts, essays, SMS drafts, and any field with a strict character limit. Byte counts help when a database column, tweet-style cap, or API payload has a size limit you must not exceed.

SEO writers watch character counts for titles and meta descriptions. Students count words for assignments. Developers count bytes before storing a string. Social managers check length before posting. Because counts update live, you can edit in the same box until the number is right instead of bouncing between an editor and a counter.

The counter reports several measures at once so you do not need separate tools for words versus characters versus lines. It is plain text: what you paste is what is measured. There is no account and no history, which is what you want when the draft is confidential or not ready to publish.

Your text is measured in the browser and never uploaded or stored. Use this free word counter, character counter, and byte counter whenever you need accurate live stats with privacy and no sign-up.
