Tool - Count characters and words in text snippet or paragraph (LIVE)

Count characters/letters or words live

Sometimes you need to count number of character/letters or even words in something you write. If you have blog or website then you'll know Google indexes only 70 characters of page title in search result. If you have more than 70 characters in your page title, Google is not going to show all of them in search result but Google will choose which are best for user experience.

You can use this tool to get the length of the characters/letters. It'll also give number of words used.

How to use counter?

Using this counter is really simple and easy. Just start typing in the given box or paste text snippet copied from some other source. It will show you the number of characters/letters or words as you type them without having to click on any thing (this is why I called it live counter). It still have "count characters and words" button which is just for formality.
