Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a limit on how much text I can count?
No. Because counting runs in your browser rather than a server, you can paste an entire manuscript — there's no upload and no limit.
Does the word counter work for languages other than English?
Yes. Words are counted using universal text segmentation, so Hindi, Spanish, German, and most scripts count correctly.
Is my text stored anywhere?
No. Your text stays in the page's memory on your device. Close the tab and it's gone — no server copy, no analytics on content.
