Frequently Asked Questions
Is my text sent to a server?
No. All counting happens locally in your browser — your text is never uploaded or stored.
How are sentences counted?
Sentences are counted by splitting the text on sentence-ending punctuation (periods, question marks, and exclamation points).
How are paragraphs counted?
A paragraph is any block of text separated by a line break, so pressing Enter starts a new paragraph.
Is there a text length limit?
No fixed limit — the counter works entirely in your browser, so it can handle large blocks of text as long as your device can process them.
