Example

Common Use Cases
- Quickly checking the word count of a PDF report or article before submission.
- Analyzing text density across documents to compare brevity or verbosity.
- Estimating readability — shorter average sentence lengths tend to be easier to read.
FAQ
- Does this count text in images or scanned pages? No — only the selectable text layer is extracted. Scanned PDFs without an OCR text layer will show zero words.
- Are headers and footers included? Yes — every piece of selectable text on every page is counted.
- Is my file uploaded anywhere? No — all analysis happens entirely in your browser; the PDF never leaves your device.
