Paragraph Counter, Count Paragraphs Online Free
Paragraph count with a words-per-paragraph breakdown and long-paragraph warnings.
About this tool
Counts paragraphs and shows the number of words and sentences in each one. Short paragraphs (40–80 words) keep web readers engaged, especially on mobile; paragraphs over 150 words are flagged because they look like walls of text on a phone screen.
Text copied from websites often uses a single line break per paragraph, so you can switch how paragraphs are detected.
How to use
- 1. Paste text.
- 2. Choose how paragraphs are separated.
- 3. Split any paragraph marked as long.
Frequently asked questions

By default, blocks of text separated by a blank line. Switch to 'Every line break' for text where each line is its own paragraph.
