Everything you need to know about our Word Counter tool
Our word counter is highly accurate and follows standard word counting conventions. It counts words by splitting text on whitespace and filtering out empty strings, which is the same method used by most professional word processors like Microsoft Word and Google Docs.
A word is defined as any sequence of characters separated by spaces, tabs, or line breaks. This includes numbers, hyphenated words (counted as one word), and words with apostrophes. Contractions like "don't" or "it's" are counted as single words.
No, your privacy is important to us. All text processing happens locally in your browser. Your text is never sent to our servers, stored, or shared with anyone. When you close your browser or refresh the page, your text is completely gone.
There's no hard limit set by our tool, but very large documents (over 100,000 words) might slow down the counting process depending on your device's performance. For most use cases, including essays, articles, and reports, the tool works instantly.
Once the page loads, the word counting functionality works entirely offline since all processing happens in your browser. However, you'll need an internet connection to initially load the page and access any updates or new features.
Simply click the "Copy Count" button below the text area, and the current word count will be copied to your clipboard. You'll see a "Copied!" confirmation message. You can then paste it anywhere using Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac).
Yes! Our word counter is fully responsive and works perfectly on smartphones and tablets. The interface adapts to smaller screens while maintaining all functionality. You can type directly or paste text from other apps.
Our tool is perfect for quick word counts without opening heavy software. It's accessible from any device with a browser, provides instant results as you type, and is completely free. It's ideal for social media posts, quick checks, or when you don't have Word available.
