Frequently Asked Questions

How do I count words in a document?

Paste or type your text in the editor above. The word count updates instantly in real-time. We also show character count, sentence count, paragraph count, and estimated reading time.

How is reading time calculated?

We estimate reading time based on the average adult reading speed of 200 words per minute. This is a standard estimate used by major publishing platforms.

Can I count words in a PDF or Word document?

You can copy text from any document and paste it into our tool. Simply select all text in your document (Ctrl+A), copy it (Ctrl+C), and paste it here (Ctrl+V).

What counts as a word?

A word is any sequence of characters separated by whitespace (spaces, tabs, line breaks). Hyphenated words like "well-known" count as one word. Numbers count as words.

Is my text private when using this word counter?

Yes. All counting and analysis happens entirely in your browser. Your text is never sent to any server — open DevTools and check the Network tab to verify. When you close the tab, the text is gone.
