How to count paragraphs
Paste your text
Add your draft. Paragraphs are counted as blocks of text separated by a blank line.
Check the structure
Paragraph count appears with sentences, words and lines so you can balance your sections.
Tidy it up
Use “Normalize line breaks” to clean up extra blank lines and get a consistent paragraph count.
Why paragraph count matters
Well-structured writing uses paragraphs to group ideas. Counting them helps you spot walls of text, balance section length, and meet structural requirements for essays, blog posts and reports.
This counter treats blocks separated by a blank line as paragraphs, which matches how most editors and CMSs render them. It all happens in your browser, so it's instant and private.
Frequently asked questions
How is a paragraph counted?
A paragraph is a block of text separated from the next by a blank line. Use the “Normalize line breaks” button to standardize spacing for a reliable count.
Does a single line count as a paragraph?
Yes — if your text has content but no blank lines, it counts as one paragraph. Add a blank line between blocks to separate paragraphs.
Can I count words and sentences too?
Yes. Paragraphs are shown together with words, characters, sentences, lines and reading time, all live.
Is it free and private?
Yes. It's free, needs no sign-up, and your text stays in your browser.
