How to use the paragraph counter
- Paste your text, with each paragraph on its own line.
- Read the paragraph total alongside words and sentences.
- Add or remove line breaks to see the count change.
Each non-empty line of text counts as one paragraph, so pressing Enter between paragraphs is enough. Blank lines are ignored. Useful for checking essay structure or page layout.
Frequently asked questions
How are paragraphs counted?
Every non-empty line is counted as a paragraph. Empty lines between paragraphs are ignored.
Does a wrapped line count twice?
Only a real line break (pressing Enter) starts a new paragraph. Text that merely wraps on screen counts as part of the same paragraph.
Can I use it for long documents?
Yes. Paste the text and the totals update instantly in your browser.
