Word & character counter
Your words, at a glance. Count, check and fine-tune your text — all in one place.
A small tool. A clearer picture.
Type directly or paste a draft, an essay, a caption or an email.
See words, characters and the structure of your text as you work.
Copy your finished text or download a plain-text file.
Know what you’re counting.
Word counts follow the language rules built into your browser. Numbers count as words; punctuation and emoji on their own do not. Hyphenated words may be counted as separate words.
Characters are counted as visible text units, so an emoji or a letter with a combining accent counts as one character. Spaces and line breaks are included; “without spaces” excludes whitespace.
Each non-empty line counts as a paragraph. Sentence boundaries are estimated by your browser and can vary around abbreviations. Reading time assumes 200 words per minute; it is a rough guide, not a reading assessment.
A few good questions.
Is this word counter free?
Yes. You can count, copy and download your text without an account or payment.
Is my text uploaded or saved?
The counter processes your text in your browser. It does not upload it to a server or save it between visits. Copy or download text you want to keep before leaving or reloading.
Why does another editor show a different count?
Editors can use different rules for hyphens, apostrophes, numbers and emoji. BIJJO uses your browser’s language-aware segmentation, so small differences are possible.
Can I use it for an essay or a social caption?
Yes. It is useful for drafts, essays, captions and emails. A platform may use its own character-counting rules, so check its final limit there too.
