FAQ
Which word counter should I use?
Use Word Counter or Count Words for word count, sentence count, and reading time. Use Character Counter, Character Count, or Letter Counter when the limit is based on characters, letters, bytes, or lines.
Does the word counter upload my text?
No. The text counters are designed to run locally in your browser after the page loads.
Will counts match every platform?
Not always. Platforms may count emoji, punctuation, line breaks, spaces, CJK text, or tokens differently. These tools are quick plain-text references.
