Count words, characters and reading length while you write
A word counter is useful for essays, articles, product descriptions, social posts, application answers and any task with a length requirement. Live counts help you edit toward a target without switching between applications.
Character totals can matter for forms and social platforms, while word counts are more useful for documents and assignments. Use the reading estimate as a rough guide rather than an exact prediction for every reader.
