Word Counter for Blogs, Social Posts & Emails
Word and character counts matter more than most people think. They affect how your content looks in feeds, how it's truncated in search results, and how quickly people can scan it on mobile.
This free word counter is designed for creators, writers, and small business owners who want a quick way to size content without leaving their browser.
Common Length Guidelines
Helpful ranges
