Paragraph count

Counts paragraphs by looking for blank lines (one or more empty lines between blocks of text). Matches the behaviour of Word, Google Docs, and most writing apps.

Text input

COUNT

Runs entirely in your browser

How it works

The counting runs entirely in JavaScript in your browser tab. As you type or paste text, the counts update synchronously with no network request.

Processing runs in your browser

Your text is held only in browser memory. Closing the tab removes it entirely.

For checking reading difficulty alongside word count, try the readability checker. To generate placeholder copy of a target length, use lorem ipsum. For tidying capitalisation as you draft, see the case converter.

Frequently asked questions

How is a paragraph defined?
A paragraph is any block of text separated from the next by one or more blank lines. A single newline (line break) without a blank line does not start a new paragraph.
What if my text has no blank lines?
If there are no blank lines, the entire text is counted as one paragraph, regardless of how many line breaks it contains.
Does it count code blocks or quoted passages as paragraphs?
Yes. Any block of text separated from the next by a blank line counts as a paragraph, including indented code, quotations, and list items rendered as plain text.
Is my text sent to a server?
All counting runs locally in your browser using JavaScript. Our servers are not involved at any point.
