What does the Paragraph Counter do?

Long paragraphs are hard to read on phones. This tool counts paragraphs and lists each one with its opening words, word count and sentence count, plus the average and longest paragraph.

By default, paragraphs are separated by a blank line (how most editors and websites work). Tick the option to treat every line break as a new paragraph, which suits text copied from chat apps or some PDFs.

How to use the Paragraph Counter

  1. Paste your text.
  2. Choose whether a single line break starts a new paragraph.
  3. Review the table to find paragraphs that are much longer than the rest.
  4. Split long paragraphs and paste again to check.

Examples

Mobile-friendly blog post

If one paragraph has 140 words while the rest have 40–60, breaking it into two or three makes the article easier to read on a phone.
