CleanTextly's Word Counter gives you a live breakdown of any text — words, characters (with and without spaces), lines, paragraphs, sentences, and an estimated reading time — updating instantly as you type. Paste an essay, an email draft, or a social media post, and every statistic recalculates in real time, entirely in your browser, with nothing uploaded or stored.

Instant Updates
Every statistic recalculates live as you type or paste — there's nothing to click or run.
Accurate Reading Time
Estimated reading time is calculated at 200 words per minute and rounded up to the nearest minute.
Smart Sentence & Paragraph Detection
Repeated punctuation like "..." or "!!!" counts as a single sentence ending, and consecutive blank lines count as one paragraph break.

Everything runs locally in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, logged, or stored anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute and always rounded up, so even a single word shows a 1-minute estimate.
A sentence ends with one or more of . ! or ? — repeated punctuation like "..." or "!!!" still counts as a single sentence ending, not several.
A new paragraph starts after one or more blank lines. Lines grouped together with no blank line between them count as a single paragraph.
Characters counts every character exactly as typed, including spaces, tabs, and line breaks. Characters (No Spaces) removes all whitespace before counting.
It copies your original input text — the statistics are just a live summary and aren't included in what's copied.
No. All counting happens entirely in your browser. Your text is never sent to a server or stored.
