About the Word Counter
Character limits are everywhere — meta descriptions, essay word counts, social posts, application forms — and each counts slightly differently, which is why both the with-spaces and without-spaces figures are shown. Text stays in your browser, so it is safe to paste a draft you have not published. Reading time uses roughly 200 words per minute, the usual estimate for adult silent reading.
Frequently asked questions
Does it count characters with or without spaces?
Both figures are shown, because form limits differ on which one they use.
Is my text stored or sent anywhere?
No. Counting happens entirely in your browser and nothing is transmitted.
How is reading time calculated?
From the word count at roughly 200 words per minute, the standard adult silent reading speed.
