About Word Counter
Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and reading time instantly. Word Counter runs entirely in your browser — no installation, no uploads, and no data ever leaves your device.
Common use cases: check article word count for seo targets; meet character limits for social media posts; estimate reading time for blog content. Whether you are debugging, prototyping, or building production code, having a fast and private tool for this task saves time compared to writing one-off scripts or using an online tool that logs your data.
Like every tool in Catalyst, this one is free forever, requires no login, and is safe to use with confidential data. All processing happens client-side via native browser APIs.
