Word Counter

The Word Counter tool gives you an instant breakdown of any text you paste or type — including word count, character count (with and without spaces), sentence count, and paragraph count. It updates in real time as you type, so you always have accurate stats at a glance without needing to run any external scripts or commands.

For developers, this tool is especially handy when validating content constraints, checking API payload sizes, or ensuring that user-generated text meets length requirements before processing. Instead of writing a one-off script to count tokens or characters, you get a reliable, zero-setup utility that works directly in the browser.

Using the tool is straightforward: paste or type your text into the input area and the counts update automatically. The output panel displays word count, total character count, character count excluding spaces, sentence count, and paragraph count — all at once. There is no submit button required; everything is computed live on the client side.

A few edge cases worth knowing: multiple consecutive spaces are not counted as additional words, and empty lines between blocks of text are used to detect paragraph boundaries. Sentences are detected by common punctuation endings (periods, exclamation marks, question marks), so code snippets or heavily formatted text may produce unexpected sentence counts.

If you are working with content that includes special characters, emoji, or non-Latin scripts, character counts reflect actual Unicode code points, which may differ from byte length. Keep this in mind when comparing results against backend validation logic that operates on byte-level string lengths.
