Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this text word counter free?
This text word counter is free because our business relies on enterprise IT services, not advertising revenue. Because this tool processes your text entirely in your browser, we pay nothing in server costs. We built it as a utility for writers and professionals.
Is my text private?
Yes. Your text never leaves your device. This counter processes everything locally using browser-based JavaScript. No uploads. No server transfers. We have no access to your text. Your privacy is structurally guaranteed.
What counts as a word?
Words are counted by splitting on whitespace. Hyphenated words count as one word. Numbers and symbols separated by spaces count as individual words.
Does punctuation affect word count?
Punctuation attached to words does not affect the count. "Hello!" and "Hello" both count as one word. Punctuation marks alone are not counted as words.
Can I count words in multiple paragraphs?
Yes. The counter accurately counts words across multiple paragraphs. It also provides paragraph count separately for document structure analysis.
