What is Paragraph Counter?
You're working on a long article and need to know if your structure breathes. Scrolling and counting breaks is tedious.
Paste your draft and see paragraph count update live, blank lines treated as breaks.
If you're editing long-form, you flag walls of text that need breaking up. If you're auditing UX copy, you check that mobile layouts have enough whitespace. If you're managing book chapters, you verify each one hits structural targets.

Common questions
What counts as a paragraph?
Any block separated by a blank line. Single line breaks don't count.
Tip: If your source uses single breaks, normalize first.
What's a good paragraph length?
2-4 sentences for web. Up to 6-8 for academic prose.
Tip: Mobile screens make 5+ sentence paragraphs feel like walls.
Will a heading count?
Headings are paragraph blocks unless you strip them first.
Tip: Strip markdown if you only want body paragraphs.
What if my text uses single newlines?
It counts as one big paragraph. Add blank lines between blocks.
Tip: PDFs often use single line breaks even between visual paragraphs.
