Frequently asked questions
Is my text uploaded to a server?
No. All counting happens locally in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.
How is reading time estimated?
Reading time is based on about 200 words per minute, a common average for silent reading.
How are words counted?
Words are runs of non-whitespace characters separated by spaces, tabs or line breaks — the same way most editors count them.
Does it work offline?
Yes. PDFPowerHub is a PWA, so the counter keeps working with no internet connection.
