Frequently asked questions

A collection of free browser based tools that count characters and words, convert text case and check length limits for search results and social posts. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Yes. No account, no trial, no character cap. The site is funded by unobtrusive advertising, and no tool requires payment.

No. There is no sign up anywhere on the site and no feature that requires one.

Yes. Every tool is responsive and the counters work the same way on mobile browsers. Typing long documents on a phone is awkward, but pasting and checking works well.

No. The counting code runs in your own browser tab. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the counters keep working, which is the simplest proof that nothing is sent.

No. There is no local storage, no session storage and no autosave. Reloading the page discards everything you typed.

The tools themselves set no cookies. Advertising partners may set measurement cookies, and where required a consent banner appears first.

Different tools make different assumptions about hyphenated words, footnotes, numbers and CJK text. Where a limit will be enforced, check with the system that enforces it.

Start with the essay word counter, which tracks your draft against a target and shows pages and average sentence length at the same time.

The words to pages calculator. It handles single and double spacing, US Letter and A4, and works in either direction.

Yes, with the upper case generator. It also handles Title Case and Sentence case, and you can copy the result in one click.

Yes. It applies the weighted counting X uses, where emoji and CJK characters count as two units and Latin letters as one.
