About Word counter
- What does Word counter do?
- Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and reading time.
- Who is it for?
- Writers checking length against a limit, researchers cleaning up lists, developers encoding values, and anyone comparing two versions of a document.
- Is it free?
- Yes. Word counter is free with no account, no watermark on your output, no daily cap and no trial period. Because it runs on your own device it costs us nothing to run, which is why there is no catch.
- Is it safe to use with confidential files?
- Yes, and not because we promise to behave. Word counter never sends your file anywhere — the work happens in your browser. There is no upload, so there is no copy of your document in our systems at any point.
