Frequently asked questions
Is there a character limit?
No. The counter runs entirely in your browser, so even very long documents are counted instantly.
Does it count words in other languages?
Yes. Words are split on whitespace, so it works for most languages including Urdu, Arabic and others.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Your text never leaves your device — there is no server, no storage and no tracking of what you type.
