Frequently asked questions
How does the word counter work?
ToolsPix Word Counter runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. As you type or paste text, it instantly counts words by splitting on whitespace, characters by string length, sentences by detecting punctuation (. ! ?), and paragraphs by detecting line breaks. No text is ever sent to a server.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated based on an average adult reading speed of 200 words per minute. This is a commonly used benchmark for general content. The actual reading time may vary depending on the complexity of your text.
What does "characters without spaces" mean?
The "No spaces" count shows the number of characters excluding all whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines). This is useful for platforms like Twitter that count characters without spaces, or for typesetting purposes.
What are the top keywords and how are they counted?
The keyword density section shows the 10 most frequently used meaningful words in your text. Common stop words (like "the", "a", "is", "in", etc.) are filtered out so you see the words that actually matter. The percentage shows each word's share of all meaningful words.
Can I set a character limit?
Yes. Enter a number in the "Limit" field and a progress bar will appear showing how close you are to that limit. The bar turns red when you exceed 90% of the limit. This is useful for writing social media posts, SEO descriptions, or any content with a character cap.
Is my text stored or saved anywhere?
No. Everything happens locally in your browser. Your text is never sent to any server, logged, or stored. When you close the tab, the text is gone.
