Character Counter — frequently asked questions
How is reading time calculated?+
At roughly 238 words per minute for silent reading and 140 for speaking aloud — the averages from reading-speed research.
Does it count spaces?+
Both. It shows the character count with spaces and without, since different limits (SMS vs meta tags) count them differently.
Is my text saved?+
No. Everything is counted live in your browser and nothing is stored or sent.
Do you upload my files to a server?+
No — every tool here processes your files entirely on your device, and nothing is uploaded to a server. The only exception is the AI tools, which send the extracted text (not the file) to Claude to do their work.
Is there a file size limit?+
There's no artificial limit we impose, but since processing happens in your browser, very large files (500+ MB or 1,000+ pages) are limited by your device's memory rather than by us.
