A simple word counter for everyday writing
Whether you are checking a social caption, polishing a school assignment, or keeping a blog post under a target length, this free word counter gives you the numbers immediately. It also counts characters, lines, sentences, and an approximate reading time.
Why use a browser word counter?
There is no account to create and no document to upload. Your text is processed locally on your device, so it is a convenient choice for drafts that you would rather keep private.
How is reading time estimated?
PicoBento uses an estimate of 200 words per minute. Actual reading time varies with the reader and the complexity of the text.
