FAQ
Common questions
Do you upload my text anywhere?
No. Counting happens locally in your browser. Your input is not sent to a
server.
How are words counted?
Words are counted by splitting on whitespace. Extra spaces are ignored.
Why do bytes differ from characters?
Bytes depend on UTF-8 encoding. Emojis and some symbols take more than one
byte.
Does this tool work offline?
