Quick Work StudioText Tools
Count words, characters, sentences and reading time.
The Word & Character Counter is a free online tool in Quick Work Studio's text tools collection. Count words, characters, sentences and reading time. Words are counted by splitting on whitespace, characters count every symbol including spaces, and reading time assumes an average pace of 200 words per minute.
Small text formatting chores like this come up constantly for writers, developers, and anyone cleaning up messy text — variable names, URL slugs, copy-pasted lists, or content that needs a consistent style. Doing it by hand is slow and error-prone; this tool does it instantly and exactly.
Like every tool on Quick Work Studio, the Word & Character Counter is 100% free, requires no sign-up, and works instantly in any modern browser on desktop or mobile — it's one of 100+ tools built to save you a small chunk of time without getting in your way.
