Frequently asked questions
- How are characters counted?
- Characters are counted by Unicode code points, so emoji and accented letters count correctly.
- How are words counted?
- Words are sequences separated by whitespace; multiple spaces or line breaks don't inflate the count.
- What is the byte count?
- It's the size of your text encoded as UTF-8, which is how most systems store and transmit text.
- Is my text stored anywhere?
- It stays in your browser. Your input is saved locally so it's still there when you return, but it's never uploaded.
