Overview

Count words & characters of selected text via context‑menu or Alt+W.

Modern digital life is bounded by length limits. Tweets stop at 280 characters, email subjects vanish after sixty, and many courses still demand minimum word counts. Copy-pasting passages into an external counter interrupts flow and wastes minutes. Word Counter for Google Chrome erases that detour. Highlight any text, right-click once, and the numbers you need—words, characters, characters-without-spaces, and estimated reading time—appear instantly inside the page. Workflow could not be simpler: Highlight the passage. Right-click → “Count words & characters.” A compact overlay fades in for six seconds at the lower-right corner of the tab, listing the four key metrics. Target user groups Copywriters & marketers – stay inside CMS editors while keeping ad headlines and meta-descriptions within strict character limits. Journalists & bloggers – track article length and keep promised reading-time slots honest. Students & academics – verify essay or thesis word counts without leaving online learning portals. UX writers & localisation teams – guard against string overruns in pixel-tight mobile layouts. SEO analysts – adjust paragraphs until they balance dwell time with concise messaging. Developers & technical authors – count README or API-guide text directly on GitHub before committing. Five standout advantages Instant insight – metrics pop up in under 100 ms on most hardware. Workflow purity – no external websites, no clipboard juggling, no context shift. Performance first – scripts unload themselves; no persistent listeners hog CPU. Global ready – plug-and-play locale files future-proof the UI for multilingual teams. Security friendly – minimal, auditable code and zero outbound requests.
