Word Counter

Have you ever lost track of how much you've written, only to realize you're way over or under the limit?

This is where our word counter does the work for you.

Word count matters when each platform has its own space to fill. Most social media platforms, like Twitter, Instagram, or LinkedIn, have strict character and word limits. It can be frustrating to write again and again while trying to fit your message within those limits.

Our tool shows you how many words, characters, and paragraphs you’ve written; no need to count anything yourself. Just focus on what you want to write, and let the tool take care of the number of words.
