About Word Counter

OptiPix Word Counter is a comprehensive text analysis tool that provides instant statistics as you type. Count words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, lines, and syllables in real time. Get reading and speaking time estimates, Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level readability scores, and top-10 keyword density analysis with stop-word filtering. Use platform presets for Twitter (280 chars), Instagram (2200), LinkedIn (3000), Meta descriptions (160), title tags (60), and SMS (160) to ensure your content fits within limits. The character limit checker turns red when you exceed the cap. You can also set a custom limit for any platform. Drop a .txt file to analyze it instantly. Copy your text to clipboard or download as a .txt file. Every calculation runs 100% in your browser — your text is never sent to any server, making this the most private word counter available online.

How It Works

The tool uses JavaScript string operations to split text by whitespace (words), punctuation (sentences), double newlines (paragraphs), and single newlines (lines). Syllables are estimated by counting vowel groups. Readability scores use the Flesch formulas based on word, sentence, and syllable counts.

Use Cases

  • Check word count for essays, articles, and blog posts
  • Ensure social media posts fit within character limits
  • Analyze readability for content marketing and SEO
  • Count characters for meta descriptions and title tags
  • Estimate reading and speaking time for presentations
