  2. Paste your revised/edited version into the right box.
  3. The tool will instantly calculate the difference in word count.
  4. Green indicates added words; Red indicates removed words.

Pro Tips

  • Use this to see if you are meeting 'conciseness' goals by trimming fat.
  • Perfect for students who need to cut an essay down to a strict word limit.
  • Also useful for tracking how much new content you've added during a revision.

Track Your Editing Progress

Editing is often about subtraction, not addition. The Editor Counter is a specialized tool designed to visualize your editing workflow. Unlike a standard word counter that just shows a total, this tool tracks the specific volume of content you have removed or added during a session.

Why Track "Changes"?

Professional editors know that concise writing is strong writing. A typical goal for a second draft is to cut 10% of the word count. This tool acts as your scorecard. If you paste an 1000-word draft and end up with 900 words, you know you've successfully trimmed the fat.

Ideal Users

  • Ghostwriters: Prove to clients how much work you put into refining their rough notes.
  • Students: Struggling to meet a maximum word count for an essay? Watch the number drop in real-time.
  • Novelists: Track your "words deleted" metric—often a badge of honor in the late stages of manuscript prep.
