Word/Character Counter
Pure client-side word and character counter with live stats. Nothing leaves your browser.
Paste or type text below and the stats update on every keystroke. Languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean are usually written without spaces between words, so a naive space-split word count treats an entire sentence as a single "word" — which isn't very useful. That's why this tool also counts CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) characters separately, giving you a more meaningful measure of length for that kind of text.

FAQ
Why are words and CJK characters counted separately?
Languages like English separate words with spaces, so a space-split count is meaningful. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text is normally written without spaces between words, so splitting an entire CJK passage on whitespace just yields "one word" — a meaningless number. We count CJK characters separately so you get a length metric that actually reflects that kind of text.
How are paragraphs detected?
Paragraphs are separated by one or more blank lines — any gap that contains a fully blank line (either just a newline, or a line with only spaces/tabs) counts as a paragraph break.
Does this tool upload my text anywhere?
No. All counting happens locally in your browser. Your text is never sent to a server, and nothing is retained once you close the page.
