Word Counter
Count words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs online in your browser without uploading your text to a server.
What this tool does
NexKit Word Counter counts words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, and paragraphs as you type or paste text, entirely in your browser.
Word counting uses locale-aware text segmentation rather than simple whitespace splitting, so it counts correctly on languages like Chinese and Japanese that do not use spaces between words - a naive whitespace-based counter would badly undercount such text.
How to count words
Paste or type your text into the box. Counts update immediately as you type - there is no button to click.
Accuracy and limits
Sentence counting recognizes both ASCII (. ! ?) and CJK full-width (。！？) sentence-ending punctuation. Paragraph counting treats blank lines as paragraph breaks.
Privacy and file handling
Your text is counted entirely in your browser. It is not uploaded to NexKit servers by this tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my text uploaded?
No. Your text is counted locally in your browser. It is not uploaded to NexKit servers by this tool.
Does it count CJK text correctly?
Yes. Word counting uses locale-aware text segmentation, not simple whitespace splitting, so it counts words correctly in Chinese, Japanese, and similar languages that do not separate words with spaces.
What counts as a sentence or paragraph?
A sentence ends with a period, exclamation mark, question mark, or the equivalent CJK full-width punctuation. A paragraph is text separated by a blank line.
