How to Use the Online Word Counter
This online word counter is built for Chinese writing, English writing, SEO content, social media posts, product copy, blog articles, abstracts, and marketing drafts. Paste text into the editor to instantly count Chinese characters, English words, total characters, characters without spaces, paragraphs, sentences, punctuation, numbers, lines, and estimated reading time.
All counting runs locally in your browser. Your text is not uploaded to a server, which is useful for unpublished articles, contract drafts, product copy, internal notes, and campaign content.
What It Counts
- Chinese characters: useful for Chinese articles, titles, summaries, and social posts.
- English words: useful for English articles, emails, essays, and documentation.
- Characters and characters without spaces: useful for SEO titles, meta descriptions, and platform limits.
- Paragraphs, sentences, and lines: useful for readability and structure checks.
- Reading time: estimates how long the text takes to read based on Chinese and English content.
- Social media limits: checks X / Twitter, Threads, Xiaohongshu titles, WeChat titles, SEO titles, and SEO descriptions.
Steps
- Paste text, or upload a
.txt,.md,.json, or other text file. - Review the live statistics on the right.
- Use the platform limit bars to see whether the text is too long.
- Copy the report or download a JSON report for records.
Common Use Cases
Use this tool to check whether a Xiaohongshu title is too long, whether a WeChat title fits, whether an SEO title or meta description is search-friendly, how many words an English article has, how many Chinese characters a draft contains, and whether the estimated reading time is appropriate. It is useful for frontend developers, marketers, editors, SEO writers, and content creators.
Counting Rules
Chinese counting focuses on Han characters. English counting focuses on English words. The mixed word count combines Chinese characters and English words to estimate mixed-language copy length. Platform limits can change over time, so the social media limit checks are practical writing references rather than official publishing rules.
