Word Counter Online
Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, reading time, speaking time, readability, keyword density, and social length limits. Everything runs in your browser, so your draft stays on your device.
Basic counters only show numbers. PC Notepad turns the same text into a quick reading report so you can see whether a draft is easy to read, too long for a platform, or repeating the same keywords too often.
Why it is different
Built for writers, students, editors, and content teams
Reading analytics

Keyword density cloud
Spot repeated meaningful words without manually scanning your whole draft.
Social length checks
Check character limits for meta descriptions, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, SMS, and Facebook.
Private browser processing
Your text is analyzed locally in the browser and is not uploaded to a server.
How to use the word counter
- 1. Paste or type your text. The counters update live as you write.
- 2. Check core metrics. Review words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, reading time, and speaking time.
- 3. Review readability. Use the grade-level explanation to decide whether your writing is too complex.
- 4. Check density and platform limits. Use keyword density and social progress bars before publishing. If the draft has messy copied formatting, clean it first with the Text Cleaner.
Continue writing in PC Notepad
After checking your text, open the main notepad for local autosave, password lock, Markdown preview, and TXT, DOCX, or PDF export.
