Free Word CounterNeed an accurate letter count for Twitter, SMS, or meta descriptions? This free character counter updates live as you type. See total characters, characters without spaces, words, lines, and paragraphs in one place. This tool runs entirely in your browser. There is no sign-up, no upload, and no server that sees your words. That makes it ideal for essays, social posts, translations, and anything confidential. Paste your draft, get instant results, and copy the output in one click. Because everything is client-side, it works offline after the page loads and stays fast on mobile networks in Kigali or anywhere else. Accented letters and emoji count correctly as Unicode code points.
Free, instant, private — your text never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions
- Do spaces count as characters?
- Yes. We show both totals: with spaces (full length) and without spaces (letters and punctuation only).
- Is my text stored?
- No. Counting happens locally in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
- Does it work with French accents?
- Yes. French diacritics and curly quotes are counted correctly.
