Does the character count include spaces?

The tool shows both the character count including spaces and the count excluding spaces separately.

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time is estimated assuming an average reader reads about 200 words per minute.

Is my text stored anywhere?

No. All counting happens in your browser; your text is never sent to or stored on any server.

How many words is one page?

It depends on font and spacing, but a standard A4 page holds roughly 400–500 words single-spaced and 250–300 double-spaced. Use the word count to estimate how many pages your text will be.

Why are the character counts with and without spaces different?

The with-spaces count includes the spaces between words; the without-spaces count counts only visible characters. Platforms like Twitter/X include spaces in their character limit.
