Word Count Tool

Whether you are a student writing an essay with a 1000-word limit, or a social media manager trying to fit a tweet into 280 characters, knowing the length of your text is crucial.

Our Word Counter is not just a counter; it's a writing assistant that tracks Words, Characters, Sentences, and even Reading Time instantly.

1. Why Word Count Matters?

It's about precision and optimization.

Academic
Assignments often have strict "Min 500" or "Max 2000" word limits.
SEO Ranking
Long-form content (1500+ words) usually ranks higher on Google.
Social Media
You cannot post if you exceed the character limit.

2. Social Media Character Limits (2025)

Keep this table handy to avoid the annoying "Text too long" error:

Platform Content Type Limit (Characters)
Twitter (X) Tweet 280 chars
Instagram Bio 150 chars
Instagram Caption 2,200 chars
LinkedIn Post 3,000 chars
Google Meta Description ~160 chars (Optimal)
