About Word & Character Counter
Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and estimated reading time. Press Calculate to see the result in the results panel. Everything runs locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded. Only the current result is shown — no history or side-by-side comparison.
Word & Character Counter reads “Paste or type your text” from the form above and writes the answer into the results panel — Reading time assumes 200 words per minute. Counting runs as you type. There is no account, no upload and no server round-trip: the JavaScript on this page does the work on your own device.
How to use Word & Character Counter
- Open Word & Character Counter from Text & Code, or find it with the search box in the header.
- Fill in the fields shown above: “Paste or type your text”.

A worked example
Enter your own values in the fields above and press Calculate. Change any input and press again; the result is recalculated from the current inputs and replaces the previous one.
Frequently asked questions
Is what I type uploaded anywhere?
No. Word & Character Counter processes “Paste or type your text” with JavaScript inside your browser. Your inputs and the result stay on your device; Utilixo keeps no copy of them.
Can I keep several results to compare?
No. Each press of Calculate rebuilds the result from the current inputs and overwrites the previous one. To compare runs, note the earlier result down yourself.
