Frequently asked questions
Does it count Chinese and Japanese correctly?
Yes. Words are split using the browser's language-aware segmenter, and CJK characters are counted separately, which is how Chinese essays are usually measured.
Is my text saved anywhere?
No. Counting happens on your device and nothing is sent or stored.
Is Word & Character Counter free?
Yes. Word & Character Counter is free to use with no sign-up and no watermark.
Are my files uploaded to your server?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device, which also makes it fast and private.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It works in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone. Very large files may be slow on older phones.
