Frequently Asked Questions
Is my text sent to a server?
No. All computations happen locally in your browser.
Can I use this for large texts?
Yes. The tool is optimized for reasonably large texts (tens of thousands of characters). Extremely large files may be slower depending on your device.
How accurate is the word count?
This counter uses a simple, robust algorithm that matches non-whitespace sequences as words. For most use-cases (articles, essays, code snippets) it will be accurate.
