Word Count, Character Count and Reading Time Calculator

Whether you are writing a college assignment with a word limit, a blog post targeting SEO, a social media caption within character limits, or a professional report, knowing your word and character count is essential. Our tool provides real-time word count, character count, sentence count, paragraph count, and estimated reading time as you type.

For SEO-optimised blog writing, most digital marketing experts recommend 1,500-2,500 words for comprehensive articles that rank well in Google. For product descriptions, 150-300 words is typically optimal.

Word Limits for Common Writing Tasks in India

  • UPSC Essay Paper: 1000-1200 words per essay
  • College assignment: typically 1000-5000 words
  • LinkedIn Article: 1500-2000 words recommended
  • WhatsApp Business message: 4096 characters max
  • Google Ads headline: 30 characters
  • Meta description (SEO): 150-160 characters
  • Twitter/X post: 280 characters

For corporate emails specifically, our Corporate Email Translator decodes common passive-aggressive phrases (per my last email, gentle reminder, let's take this offline) and suggests safer rewrites before you hit send.

Counting Hindi text that is in a legacy font like KrutiDev? Legacy-font Hindi is stored as plain Latin characters, so the word and character counts come out wrong until you convert it. Convert it to Unicode first with the KrutiDev to Unicode converter (or Unicode to KrutiDev for the reverse), then see all directions on the Hindi Font Converter hub.
