Word Counter: Character Count (with/without spaces), Word Count & Sentence Count
Word Counter
Cover letters, social media posts, news articles — counting characters manually every time is tedious. Paste your text and get instant results.
This counter displays characters with and without spaces simultaneously, plus word count and sentence count. Korean cover letters typically use character count with spaces as the standard, while English essays and international submissions count words — so both are shown at a glance.
Instant use cases:
- Korean job application essays (500, 800, 1,000 char limits per section)
- Instagram caption (2,200 chars), X / Twitter (280 chars)
- Blog post titles (60 chars for major Korean platforms)
- Academic abstract (200–250 words for English submissions)
