How to use this tool

Paste text to count words using the browser’s international text segmenter.

Limits and behavior

Hyphens, contractions, and CJK word boundaries follow the browser’s Unicode segmentation rules, which may differ from a word processor. Input is limited to 1 MB and output to 3 MB. No input content is saved by CraftAI.

Online word counter for paragraphs and documents

Use this free word count tool to count the words in a paragraph, essay, article or pasted document text. It identifies word-like segments in Unicode text rather than assuming every space separates words.

Can I count words without uploading a document?

Yes. Paste your text directly into the browser tool. The count applies to the text you entered, so content that stays inside a separate file must be copied here first.
