Limits and behavior

Counts extracted Unicode text. Words use Unicode letter/number groups; image text is not included. Local processing. Maximum 10 MB per file, 25 MB total; expanded ZIP contents at most 50 MB and 2,000 entries. Spreadsheet limit: 10,000 cells and 2,000 rows per sheet. Macros are never executed. Originals are unchanged. Cancellation stops active PDF renders and discards stale results; a synchronous library step finishes before the browser can handle cancellation.

DOCX word counter for Word documents

Count words, characters and paragraphs in a DOCX document. This Word file counter is helpful for essays, reports and drafts where you need a document-wide count instead of manually pasting each paragraph.

Will its word count always match Microsoft Word?

Counts can differ between applications due to rules for punctuation, hyphens and document structures. Use the reported figure as an estimate and confirm with your required editor when exact matching matters.
