FAQ

Quick answers before you use the tool.

Can I use the word counter for free?+
Yes. The word counter is free to use and works immediately in the browser.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?+
No. Your text stays in the browser and is never sent to a server.
How does the tool count words?+
Words are counted from text segments separated by spaces or punctuation. Contractions and many hyphenated forms are usually treated as one word.
Do you count numbers, emojis, or symbols?+
Numbers are counted as words if separated by spaces. Emojis and symbols contribute to character counts but not word counts.
Can I exclude spaces from the character count?+
Yes. The tool shows both character counts: with spaces and without spaces.
Is my text stored or uploaded anywhere?+
No. All processing happens locally in your browser and your text never leaves your device.
