Word Counter

Stay under exam essay limits, LinkedIn about sections, or SMS-length captions before posting.

Word Counter keeps inputs in your tab. That matters when you are drafting numbers, text, or codes you would rather not paste into an upload-based SaaS form. Your draft text is counted locally and is not sent to SortMyFile servers. If a step needs a one-time language pack or WASM library from a CDN, that is asset delivery — not your document contents being sent to SortMyFile for server-side processing. Close the tab when you are done if you want memory cleared.

Count words, characters, sentences, and lines. Before you run Word Counter, keep an original copy of every source file. Spot-check the download on the same device you will use for the portal or email. Large scans and phone photos are limited by browser RAM — if a run stalls, shrink the input first or split the job. SortMyFile browser tools stay free forever with no daily caps.

Stay under exam essay limits, LinkedIn about sections, or SMS-length captions before posting. People reach for Word Counter when a form, HR desk, or messaging app rejects the current file shape, size, or format and installing desktop software is overkill. Pair it with case-converter, markdown-preview, text-to-speech when you need a short pipeline (for example compress then OCR, or HEIC to JPG then JPG to PDF). Results are not a substitute for official portal rules — always re-read the receiving site’s instructions before a deadline.

Word Counter trades convenience for honesty about browser limits. Extremely large files, corrupted inputs, or DRM-protected media can fail. Password-protected PDFs need a password you already know — SortMyFile does not crack encryption. Free use does not require an account; Pro (when checkout ships) is planned to raise limits and reduce ads. Until then, the free tier is enough for most one-off private jobs.
