Everything is counted locally in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, so you can analyse drafts, essays and sensitive documents without privacy concerns.
Words are split on spaces, so a typical English text is counted as expected. Because the tool also counts CJK characters separately, it handles mixed Chinese and English content accurately rather than counting every ideograph as a single word. Sentences are detected from common sentence-ending punctuation, and paragraphs are separated by blank lines.
Tips
Use characters (no spaces) when checking fields with a strict character limit such as social media posts, and use words when you are aiming for an essay or blog length. Sentences and paragraphs are handy when tightening up a draft — a high average indicates longer, denser sentences that may be harder to read.
For anyone bound by Chinese-language character limits, the CJK count is the figure that matters. Keeping it visible helps you trim titles and copy to fit platforms that restrict display length.
Why use it
Writing within limits is a daily need for essays, SEO meta descriptions, social posts and copywriting. This counter removes the guesswork without sending your text anywhere. It is fast, free and completely private — open it, write, and watch the totals update in real time.
