About Paragraph Counter
The paragraph counter tool helps you analyze the structure of long-form content. Knowing how many paragraphs you have and their average length is useful for blog posts, essays, academic papers, and any writing where structure matters.

- Paste or type your text into the input field above.
- Separate paragraphs with a blank line (press Enter twice).

How It Works
Paragraphs are identified by splitting the text on two or more consecutive line breaks. Each non-empty block of text between blank lines is counted as one paragraph. The tool then counts words within each paragraph by splitting on whitespace.
