Frequently asked questions
Is there a length limit?
Practically, several MB of text. Beyond that the browser starts to lag.
Does Word Counter save my text?
No. Word Counter processes everything in your browser; nothing is uploaded or stored.
Will Word Counter work offline?
Yes — once the page loads, processing happens locally with no further network calls.
Can I trust the count for assignment / SEO purposes?
Word Counter matches the published Unicode standard. Cross-check against the tool of record (Word, your CMS) if that's what's being graded against.
