Paste HTML and the counter strips scripts, styles, and tags, then reads headings (H1–H6) and the main text. Paste plain text and it counts that directly. Nothing is uploaded.

What the Word Counter does
Paste plain text or raw HTML and this tool counts words, characters, sentences and estimated reading time. Paste HTML and it strips scripts, styles and tags first, then reads your headings and main content — so you measure the words that actually count, not the markup.
When to use it
- To check an article meets a target word count before publishing.
- To gauge reading time for readers and content briefs.
- To compare the depth of your content against pages already ranking for your topic.
Does word count affect SEO?
There's no magic number, and longer isn't automatically better. What matters is covering a topic thoroughly enough to satisfy the search intent. Word count is a quick proxy for depth — useful for spotting thin pages that may need more substance to compete.
