Readability Checker
Check how easy your text is to read. Free, no account required.
Only check pages and files you are allowed to use.
Paste a URL or upload a screenshot only if you own the site or have permission. Do not upload pictures of other people or documents that contain personal data you should not share.
We use what you submit only to produce this result. We do not keep the URL, the text, the screenshot or the report after the check. We do not build profiles.
Pasted text is used first. A page address is read on our side and only the visible words are measured.
How this is worked out
The check counts sentences, words and syllables, then estimates how much effort the text asks of a reader. Short sentences and everyday words read more easily for most people. Subject knowledge, layout and typeface matter too, and no formula can see those.
Checking colours instead? Use the Colour Contrast Checker.
