How close is that essay to the limit? Does your meta description fit before the search engine cuts it off? Word Counter tells you exactly how long a piece of text is, and then tells you the things a plain number leaves out.
Short answer: Word Counter is a free tool on EizTools that counts words, characters, sentences and paragraphs in any text you paste. It can also report reading time, keyword frequency and a readability score in the same pass.
What is Word Counter?
Word Counter measures text. Paste a passage and it returns the counts you asked for, from a single total to a full breakdown by unit. The extra metrics are what lift it past a simple tally, because most people checking a length also want to know whether the text reads well at that length.
Why Use Word Counter?
Because limits are everywhere and rarely counted the same way. A character cap on a listing usually includes spaces. A school word limit usually excludes the bibliography. Search snippets are cut by pixel width, so character count is the practical stand in.
Four units, one pass
Words, characters, sentences and paragraphs are all available, or choose All and get every one.
Reading time
An estimate of how long your text takes to read, which matters more than length for a web page.
Keyword frequency
Shows which terms repeat and how often, so you can spot a word you have overused.
Readability score
Rates how demanding the writing is, letting you check length and difficulty together.
How Does Word Counter Work?
Drop the text in and choose an engine above the button. Inside the options panel, Count Type and Output Detail are the two to set before you run it. The breakdown lands in the output card, with a copy button and a TXT download if you want the figures kept alongside the draft.
Worth knowing: every result card on the site already shows a word count and reading time for whatever a tool produced. This one exists for the text you bring, and for detail those pills do not carry, such as counts excluding spaces or a frequency list of repeated terms.
Key Features
| Option | What it decides | Suggested value |
|---|---|---|
| Count Type | The unit being measured | Words for an essay, Characters for a field with a cap |
| Output Detail | How much comes back, from Total Only to Detailed Stats | Breakdown, which is useful without being noisy |
| Include | What is counted, such as Exclude Spaces or Visible Only | Everything, unless a platform counts differently |
| Extra Metrics | Adds reading time, keyword density or readability | Reading Time for web copy, All when auditing a draft |
Tip Check how your destination counts before trusting any number. Some platforms count characters with spaces, some without, and a few count emoji as several characters. Match the Include setting to the platform rather than assuming.
Best Use Cases
- Essays and assignments with a strict word limit and a penalty for breaking it
- Meta titles and descriptions that get truncated in search results
- Social posts, ad copy and product fields with a hard character cap
- Translation and copywriting work quoted by the word
When a count comes back over the limit, the next step is cutting rather than counting. Running the passage through the Text Summarizer gives you the essential version to rebuild from, and the Blog Writer is the better starting point when a piece turns out far too short.
Tips And Common Mistakes
- ✅ Decide whether headings, captions and references count before you measure
- ✅ Turn Keyword Frequency on for anything published, since overuse is easy to miss
- ✅ Use Reading Time rather than word count when the audience is on a phone
- ✅ Count the final version, not the draft you are still editing
EizTools asks for no registration and keeps no tally of your runs, which means measuring a document twenty times during editing costs nothing. Word Counter carries its own counting options instead of a shared panel, and you choose which AI model family handles the pass from the selector.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it count spaces as characters?
That depends on the Include setting. Everything counts spaces, Exclude Spaces does not. Check which method your platform uses, because the two figures can differ by a fifth on a long text.
How is reading time calculated?
From the length of the text at an average silent reading pace. Treat it as a guide for planning a page rather than a precise measurement of any one reader.
Can it tell me which words I repeat?
Yes. Switch on Keyword Frequency, or set Extra Metrics to Keyword Density. Both surface the terms appearing most often, which is the quickest way to catch an overused phrase.
Will it count headings and captions?
Everything you paste is counted. If your limit excludes certain parts, leave them out of the box or say so in Custom Instructions before you generate.
Is there a maximum length I can paste?
There is no quota or credit limit. Very long documents are still better measured in sections, which also gives you per section figures that a single total hides.
A word count is a small fact that decides whether work gets accepted, truncated or read at all. Paste your text above, choose the unit your limit is written in, and add the metric that tells you whether the length is working.
