Online Character Counter & Word Counter | Free Text Counter Tool

Quick Start: Type or paste your text into the editor above. All metrics—characters, words, sentences, paragraphs, spaces, and reading time—update instantly. Create profiles to store custom target values and switch between writing styles effortlessly.

Why This Character Counter Is Different

Unlike basic counters that show only raw numbers, this tool lets you create profiles—saved metric targets for any writing format. Each profile can store:

• Character limits (e.g., 280 for tweets)
• Word count ranges (e.g., 800–1200 for blogs)
• Sentence & paragraph goals
• Reading-time expectations

Switching a profile instantly loads all saved targets—useful for writers, students, editors, SEO professionals, and content creators.

How to Use

1. Type or Paste Your Text

The counter updates live. All metrics remain visible so you always know where your content stands.

2. Create a Profile

Click the button beside "Profile" to activate the custom feature, click on "Profile" and add your own custom named profiles (e.g., Twitter, Blog Post, SEO Article, Research).

3. Set Your Targets

Add custom limits — max characters, ideal word range, paragraph count, and target reading time. The metrics below becomes red when a metric's limits is crossed.

4. Save & Reuse
