Word & Character Counter
Count words, characters, sentences and estimate reading time
Why count words in your text?
Word counting is essential for respecting character limits on social media, optimal blog post length (1500-2500 words is ideal for SEO), academic essays and editorial submissions.
Important character limits
Twitter/X: 280 characters | SMS: 160 characters | SEO meta description: 155-160 characters | SEO title: 50-60 characters | LinkedIn post: 3,000 characters | Instagram bio: 150 characters.
Reading time estimation
Adults read an average of 200-250 words per minute. Our tool estimates reading time based on 225 words/minute. A 1,000-word article takes approximately 4-5 minutes to read. This helps calibrate your content length.
