No data leaves your computer. We use vanilla JavaScript to perform real-time extraction right in your browser. Feel entirely secure pasting sensitive documentation.
We split sentences based on regular punctuation boundaries including periods (.), exclamation marks (!), and question marks (?). This closely matches how commercial grammar checkers analyze sentence separation.
We provide two separate metrics: standard "Characters" which counts every single keystroke including spaces, and "Characters (No Spaces)" which calculates strictly just letters, numbers, and punctuation. Social media platforms usually use the standard spaced character count.
Word Counter is absolutely 100% free. You can analyze unlimited articles without any hidden fees, subscriptions, or paywalls.
