Paragraph Counter

Count paragraphs and see average paragraph length.

What is the Paragraph Counter?

Short paragraphs are easier to read on mobile screens. Web writers often aim for 2–4 sentences per paragraph.

How does it work?

Paragraphs are separated by one or more blank lines.

Example

An article with 12 paragraphs and 1,200 words averages 100 words per paragraph.

Frequently asked questions

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. All processing happens in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.

Does a single line break start a new paragraph?

No, a blank line is needed. Single line breaks are treated as part of the same paragraph.
