Free Markdown Document Statistics gives you a full dashboard of 20+ metrics about your document: word count, character count, sentence and paragraph counts, headings, links, images, code blocks, tables, unique words, average lengths, and estimated reading and speaking times. Markdown syntax is stripped so counts reflect actual content.

Knowing your document stats should not cost anything. The dashboard runs 100% client-side.

Here's what this free tool does in detail — every feature is built to solve real problems, runs entirely in your browser, and is free forever.
The dashboard organizes stats into four groups: Text (words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, lines, unique words, averages), Structure (headings, lists, blockquotes, tables, rules), Elements (links, images, code blocks, inline codes), and Time (reading and speaking estimates).
Reading time is based on 225 words per minute (average silent reading speed). Speaking time uses 150 words per minute (average presentation pace). Both help you plan content length for blog posts, talks, or tutorials.
For a simpler word count, see the Markdown Word Counter.
The dashboard counts unique words (case-insensitive, punctuation-stripped) to give you a vocabulary richness metric. A high unique-to-total ratio indicates varied language; a low ratio may mean repetitive content.
For readability analysis, try the Reading Level Scorer.
Headings, list items, blockquotes, tables, horizontal rules, code blocks, and inline code spans are counted separately. This helps you assess document structure at a glance -- useful for technical documentation audits.
For heading hierarchy validation, see the Structure Validator.
