Using Word Counter to estimate how text will land on a printed page. Browser-based, free, no signup, runs entirely on your device.

Word Counter for print layout

Print spaces are unforgiving. A column estimate that turns into one extra line forces a layout do-over. Word Counter gives you the count before you commit to a layout, so you can edit copy down to fit rather than re-flowing the whole document.

Frequently asked questions

Will Word Counter work offline?

Yes — once the page loads, processing happens locally with no further network calls.

Can I trust the count for assignment / SEO purposes?

Word Counter matches the published Unicode standard. Cross-check against the tool of record (Word, your CMS) if that's what's being graded against.

Does Word Counter count characters with or without spaces?

Word Counter shows both counts simultaneously, so you can use whichever your target requires.

Can Word Counter handle non-English text?

Yes — it uses Unicode-standard rules that work for most major scripts.
