About this tool
What is the Word Counter?
Word Counter is a free, browser-based writing utility for writers, students, editors, marketers, and job seekers. Use it to count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and estimated reading time as you type. Start with the article, essay, social post, product copy, or document text you want to measure; LiteTools gives you live writing statistics without uploading or saving the text. There is no account wall, so you can open the page and begin immediately.
The workspace is designed for a focused task instead of a complicated editing suite. Check the required limit in the destination platform because some sites count emojis, hyphenated words, and spaces differently. The page explains the result before you download or copy it, helping you decide whether it fits your final workflow. Browser processing is used where the tool supports it; AI-assisted tools clearly identify when a request may be sent to the selected model provider.
