How It Works

Paste your original draft into the first box and your revised draft into the second box. The Edit Counter instantly calculates the word count of both versions and shows whether your editing added or removed words. A green number means you added words; red means you cut words; gray means no change.

Track whether your revisions are tightening or expanding the text
Meet strict word limits when editing essays, articles, or reports
Measure editing efficiency and see how much content changed
Stay accountable when trimming fluff from your writing
