Count characters and words in a document
Character and word limits are everywhere: application forms, meta descriptions, essays, listings, and social posts. A reliable count tells you whether the text fits before you submit — and how far over or under you are.
This tool counts the characters and words in a DOCX document's readable text, locally in your browser, reporting totals including and excluding whitespace. The counts reflect the extracted text; heavily formatted elements such as text boxes may not contribute, so treat the number as the count of the document's main text flow.
USE CASES

WHY THIS TOOL
Counts with and without whitespace — the two numbers forms usually ask for.
Local counting; unpublished drafts are not uploaded.
Instant results with no manual copying into a separate counter.
PRACTICAL TIPS
Before you start
- Check which count the destination wants — 'characters' sometimes includes spaces and sometimes does not.
- For plain text, Word to TXT first gives you the exact content being counted.
- If the count seems low, the document may hold text in boxes or images that extraction cannot see.
