Free press release word counter.

Check the length of your draft and spot long paragraphs before publication. Your text is analysed for this result and is not stored as a draft.

Processed by Pressbox for this result. Not sent to an AI provider, stored as a release or included in analytics. Keep confidential information out of public examples.

How to get a useful result

Aim for enough detail to explain the news clearly. Length alone cannot establish newsworthiness: a short, specific announcement can be stronger than a long promotional description. Remove repetition before removing useful evidence.

A practical starting point

Paste the release, including its headline and boilerplate if you want them included in the total.

What this tool can tell you

Reading time is an estimate at 200 words per minute. Word counts vary slightly between editors, especially for hyphenated terms. There is no automatic Google or journalist preference for one exact word count.
