About this tool
Word, Character & Line Counter measures words, characters, lines, and reading-time estimates for pasted text. Use it when a draft, transcript, or content block needs a quick size check.
Inputs and outputs
Paste plain text, Markdown, or multiline content.
The tool handles punctuation, emoji, and multibyte characters, then reports word count, character count, line count, and related stats.
Gotchas
Make sure the pasted content is the exact block you want measured. Extra notes, signatures, or hidden line breaks can affect the totals.
Reading time is an estimate, not a guarantee.
