Frequently asked questions

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. All counting happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device and nothing is sent to a server.

How are words counted?

A word is any sequence of characters separated by whitespace. Multiple spaces, tabs and line breaks count as a single separator, and leading or trailing spaces are ignored.

Do spaces count as characters?

Yes. The “characters” total includes spaces and punctuation, while the “characters (no spaces)” total excludes all whitespace.

Is there a character limit?

No. You can paste essays, articles or whole documents — counting runs on your own machine, so even very long texts stay fast.
