Frequently asked questions
What does it count?
Characters (with and without spaces), words, sentences, paragraphs, lines, and an estimated reading time — all updated instantly as you type.
Is there a length limit?
No limit. You can paste articles with thousands of words; everything runs in your browser, so there is no server dependency.
How are words counted?
Words are counted as groups of characters separated by whitespace, which works for English and most languages. It is the same method used by most word processors.
How is reading time calculated?
It estimates based on an average reading speed of ~200 words per minute — a common benchmark for sizing blog posts, video scripts, and presentations.
Is my text uploaded to a server?
No. All counting happens locally in your browser with JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device, is never stored, and is never sent anywhere.
What is it useful for?
Staying within social media limits (X/Twitter, SEO meta description ≤160 chars), counting words for essays, scripts, and contracts, or checking TikTok/Instagram caption length.
