How this word counter helps

Word count matters when you are writing to a brief, submitting school work, preparing a speech, or optimizing a page for search. Character count matters for titles, meta descriptions, SMS, ads, and social media fields.

The keyword table filters common stop words so you can quickly see repeated meaningful terms. This helps spot accidental repetition, thin wording, and drafts that drift away from the main topic.

Frequently asked questions

Does this word counter store my text?

The tool runs in your browser and is intended for quick checks. Avoid pasting private or sensitive documents into any public website tool.

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time uses the word count and a default reading speed of 225 words per minute. You can use the reading time calculator page to adjust the speed.

What is keyword density?

Keyword density is the percentage of times a word appears compared with the total word count. Use it as a writing quality signal, not a fixed SEO target.
