Frequently Asked Questions

Are spaces counted in the character count?
Yes, "Characters (Total)" includes all spaces, tabs, and line breaks. If you need the count without any whitespace, check the "No Spaces" box.
Why is the Word Count different from MS Word?
Different apps use slightly different algorithms to define a "word". MS Word, Google Docs, and this tool may differ by a small margin (usually <1%) depending on how they handle hyphens, apostrophes, or special symbols.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never sent to our servers, making it safe to use even for confidential documents.
