Text Counter
Try it yourself — free, no signup required
Word count is the starting point for every piece of writing. Craftisle's free Text Counter goes beyond simple counting — it tracks characters, sentences, paragraphs, reading time, keyword density, and more, all in real-time.
Everything We Count
Words: the total number of words. Characters (with spaces): includes all characters. Characters (without spaces): excludes whitespace. Sentences: counted by end punctuation (!.?). Paragraphs: counted by line breaks. Reading time: estimated at 238 words per minute (average adult). Speaking time: estimated at 130 words per minute. Pages: estimated at 500 words per page (single-spaced).
SEO Writing with Word Count
Google prefers comprehensive content — most top-ranking pages are 1,500-2,500 words. But quality > quantity. Use our counter to hit minimums (300 words to avoid 'thin content' flags) and check if your content is competitive in length for its topic.
Social Media Character Limits
Twitter/X: 280 characters. LinkedIn: 3,000 characters for posts, 700 for company page updates. Instagram captions: 2,200 characters (truncated after 125). Meta descriptions: 155-160 characters. Our counter helps you stay within limits.
How to Use the Text Counter
Paste or type your text. All counts update in real-time. Keyword density shows the most-used words and their frequency. Char/word/line stats appear in a compact sidebar. No signup, no limits — just paste and count.
Whether you're writing a tweet, a blog post, or a thesis, word count matters. Craftisle's free Text Counter gives you all the metrics you need in one clean, real-time interface.
