Word Counter
Live word, character, sentence, and paragraph counts for any text — with a word-count goal tracker.
Introduction
Every piece of text you publish on YouTube is built from words — titles, descriptions, chapters, comments, and entire scripts — yet most creators never count them. Knowing your word count turns vague guesses into deliberate decisions: how long your description really is, whether your title fits YouTube's limits, and whether your script runs closer to two minutes or ten. The Thumbix Word Counter gives you the full picture in a single paste. It counts words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs, and estimates reading time, so you can write with intent — whether you are polishing a 5,000-character description or trimming a script before recording.

What Is This Tool?
The Word Counter scans any text you paste and reports words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and estimated reading time in real time. It updates live as you type or paste, so there is no waiting and no page refresh between edits.
The tool treats numbers, emoji, and punctuation sensibly — words are separated by whitespace, and every visible character counts toward the character total — so the numbers match what YouTube itself reports.
How Does It Work?
The counter runs a clean, predictable scan:
- It splits pasted text on whitespace to count words.
- It counts every character, with or without spaces, as you type.
- It detects sentences and paragraphs from punctuation and line breaks.
- It estimates reading time from the word count at an average reading pace.
Everything is local and instant — no server, no account, no upload.
