FileConvert provides immediate clarity on word density, character lengths, and pacing without disruptive advertisements or paywalls.

Private In-Browser Analysis

Many online counters send your text to backends for analysis or spelling suggestions. Our word counter operates 100% locally in your web browser. Your sensitive reports, journal entries, and draft communications never leave your device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my text saved or sent to any server?

No. All text parsing, counting, and estimation calculations occur exclusively in your browser memory. We never store, log, or transmit your copy.

How is the estimated reading time calculated?

Reading time is calculated using the average adult reading speed benchmark of 200 words per minute (WPM), while speaking time is estimated at 130 WPM.

How are words and sentences counted?

Words are identified using whitespace and word-boundary tokenization. Sentences are counted using punctuation terminators (. ! ?), excluding abbreviations.

Is there a limit on how long my article or essay can be?

No artificial limits exist. You can paste short tweets or entire 100,000-word book manuscripts without lag.
