Students, journalists, SEO writers and editors all run into the same question sooner or later: exactly how many words does this text have? Textify's Word Counter answers that instantly, along with character, sentence and paragraph counts, plus an estimated reading time.

What word counting is used for
- Hitting essay or application word limits for school and scholarships.
- Fitting copy into platform limits (meta descriptions, ads, captions).
- Keeping SEO articles in a healthy range — usually 800 to 2,000 words.
- Estimating how long a post will take readers before you hit publish.
