Count the paragraphs in your text
Type or paste text above to see the paragraph count update live, together with words, sentences, characters and lines. A paragraph is a block of text separated from the next by a line break, so this helps you check the structure of essays, articles and reports at a glance. Everything runs in your browser.
Why paragraph count matters
A wall of text is hard to read. Tracking paragraphs encourages you to break ideas into digestible blocks, which improves readability and flow.
Frequently asked questions
What separates one paragraph from another?
A line break starts a new paragraph, so each block of text on its own line or separated by a blank line is counted.
Does it also count words?
Yes. Words, sentences, characters and lines are shown alongside the paragraph count.
