Frequently Asked Questions
Is my text uploaded to your servers?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device and is never stored on any server.
Is this word counter free to use?
Yes, completely free — no account, no sign-up, and no usage limits.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute — the widely accepted average silent reading speed for adults. The result rounds up to the nearest minute.
How are words counted?
Words are counted by splitting the text on whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines). Extra spaces or blank lines do not inflate the word count.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The tool is pure client-side JavaScript — once the page has loaded, it works without an internet connection.
