What is an online word counter?
A word counter analyses text and calculates how many words it contains. Depending on the tool, it can also show characters, sentences, paragraphs and lines. It is useful for checking the length of essays, articles, descriptions, emails and other text.
With RekeTools you can count words online for free without creating an account. The text is analysed directly in your browser.
How to count words online

- Edit the text and check the result again.
Why count words?
Word counts are useful for students working to a minimum or maximum length, writers working with fixed requirements and people preparing web content. They can also help when comparing two versions of a document.
Words and characters are different
Two texts with the same number of words can have very different character counts. When a specific limit matters, check the measurement that actually applies.
Is there an ideal word count for SEO?
There is no universal word count that guarantees a good ranking. A page should satisfy search intent and provide useful information. Use a word counter to control length, not as an SEO target by itself.
