Word Counter parses your input in the browser and walks its structure to collect the measurements shown on screen. Word Counter is read-only: the source is held in memory for the session and discarded when you close the tab.
Frequently asked questions
Is Word Counter free to use?
Yes. Word Counter is completely free with no account, no trial and no usage cap. Every feature on this page is available on the first visit.
Does Word Counter upload your text to a server?
No. Word Counter processes your text inside your browser, so it never reaches a DocTools server. That also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-task.
Is there a file size limit?
The practical ceiling is your device's available memory rather than a server quota. Files up to roughly 100 MB work comfortably on a typical laptop in Word Counter.
Do I need to install anything to use Word Counter?
No installation is needed. Word Counter runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and on mobile, with no extension or plugin.
Can I use Word Counter on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The Word Counter interface adapts to small screens and supports touch input, though very large jobs are faster on a desktop browser.
What happens to your text when I close the tab?
It is discarded. Word Counter keeps everything in temporary browser memory, so closing the tab removes every trace of the session.
