About WordCount
Free writing tools that respect your text: counters that never upload a word, AI tools that process and forget, and honest numbers with the assumptions stated.
What WordCount is
WordCount is a free set of writing tools: counters (words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, syllables), calculators (words to minutes, words to pages), client-side utilities (case converter, word frequency, readability, diff checker, platform character counters, text to speech, voice typing) and AI writing tools (grammar checker, paraphraser, summarizer, translator and more). Everything works without an account, in 38 languages.
How it works
Counters and utilities run entirely in your browser — your text never leaves your device. The AI tools send your text over an encrypted connection for processing and immediately discard it; we keep only metadata like which tool ran and a length bucket. The full detail is on the privacy page.
Free, no ads
The site is free to use and runs no ad networks, no cross-site trackers, and no data resale. Usage limits on the AI tools exist only to keep the service fast and available for everyone.
Accuracy
Counting rules are documented on each tool page — including the cases where platforms count differently (X weighs links as 23 characters; Instagram counts UTF-16 units). Where a number depends on assumptions, like reading speed or words per page, the assumptions are stated next to the result. If you find a case we count wrong, that’s a bug and we want to know.
