Free Character Counter — Words, Spaces, Sentences & Reading Time

How is reading time calculated?

Does this tool count emojis and special symbols?

Yes. Emojis, punctuation, numbers, and Unicode symbols are correctly counted in the character totals.

Is there a character limit on how much text I can paste?

No. You can paste full chapters or long articles (50,000+ words). The tool uses high-speed debounced parsing for smooth performance.

Is my text stored on your server?

Does typing consume my usage quota repeatedly?
