Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is this word counter free to use?
Yes, completely free. There are no hidden charges, no limitations, and no account sign-ups required. You can use it as many times as you like, for any project.
Does this tool check grammar too?
No, it doesn't. This tool focuses purely on accurate word, character, sentence, and paragraph counting. We keep it simple and fast on purpose — you won't find any grammar-checking upsells cluttering the page.
Can I count words in a PDF or document?
Yes. Open your PDF or document, select the text you want to count, copy it, and paste it into the box above. You'll get an instant count without uploading or converting anything.
Is my text stored or sent anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device — it's not sent to a server, logged, or stored anywhere.
What counts as a word in this tool?
A word is any group of characters separated by spaces. The tool splits your text on whitespace to detect words, so punctuation attached to a word — like a period or comma — doesn't create a new word. For example, "hello," counts as one word.
