Frequently Asked Questions
How is word count calculated?
Our tool counts a "word" as any sequence of characters separated by spaces or newlines. Punctuation attached to a word is considered part of that word.
How is reading time estimated?
The average adult reads at roughly 225 words per minute. We divide your total word count by 225 to give you an accurate reading time estimate.
Is there a limit to how much text I can paste?
No! There are zero limits. Your browser handles all the calculations locally, meaning you can paste an entire novel and get instant results without waiting for server processing.
Do you save my text?
Absolutely not. This tool is 100% client-side. Your text never leaves your browser and is never uploaded to any server, ensuring total privacy.
What is the character limit for Twitter?
A standard tweet is limited to 280 characters. Our character counter (including spaces) is perfect for drafting tweets.
