Embed a free word & character counter

Add a live word counter to your blog, course page, or internal tool with one line of HTML. No signup, no account, no advertising inside the widget, and nothing your visitors type ever leaves their browser.

Where a word counter actually helps

Nothing to install

The widget is a single iframe. Paste the snippet once and it keeps working — no script tags, no build step, no package to maintain.

Word count is core to the post

A word counter is essential when the length matters: essays and assignments, meta descriptions, social captions, and anything with a hard character limit.

Fast and self-contained

All counting runs in the visitor’s browser. Nothing they type is uploaded anywhere, so it is safe to use inside a school or workplace tool.

The full tool

The widget is the stripped-down version. The full page adds character limits for every major platform, words-to-pages conversion, and guidance on meta description length.

Everything the widget links back to lives at the word & character counter. Attribution is the only thing we ask for — keep the “Powered by Utility Tally” link intact and the embed stays free forever.
