Free Word Counter — Count Words, Characters & Reading Time

Our free online word counter instantly counts words, characters, characters without spaces, sentences, paragraphs and estimated reading time as you type. Whether you are a blogger trying to hit a 1,500-word pillar post, a student working to a strict essay word limit, an SEO writer optimizing meta descriptions, or a freelancer billing per word, accurate live counts remove all guesswork. Unlike desktop word processors that require opening heavy apps, this tool works instantly in any mobile or desktop browser with zero signup and zero lag.

Beyond raw counts, the built-in keyword density analyzer shows your top five keywords with occurrence counts and density percentages, stripping common stop words automatically. This helps you spot accidental keyword stuffing before publishing, balance primary and secondary terms, and keep copy natural for both readers and search engines. Reading-time estimates assume an average adult pace of 200 words per minute, a widely used benchmark for blogs, newsletters and documentation.

Tips for hitting word count goals

Aim for 300+ words for basic blog indexing, 1,000–2,000 for competitive guides, and keep sentences under 20 words for readability. Use the sentence and paragraph counts to break up walls of text, and keep keyword density for any single term roughly between 1% and 2% to stay natural.
