FAQ
How is reading time calculated?
We use 265 words per minute — the average reading speed for adults reading online content. Most reading-time estimates you see in the wild use 200–250 wpm, which slightly overestimates time.
Does the counter include spaces?
Characters includes spaces; "Characters (no spaces)" excludes them. Both are shown so you can match whatever limit you are checking.
What counts as a sentence?
A sentence is terminated by a period, exclamation point, or question mark. Ellipses and abbreviations may cause slight miscounts in text with unusual punctuation.
Is anything I paste saved?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers.
