Can I export or download my results?
Yes. Use Save results in the Free forever box to download your inputs and results as PDF, Excel (.xlsx) or CSV, or tap Send to phone to share them as a plain-text note (share sheet, copy, .txt file or QR code). Files are created in your browser and include the date generated.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time uses an average of about 238 words per minute; speaking time uses about 150 words per minute.
Does it count spaces as characters?
Both counts are shown: characters with spaces and characters without spaces.
How long should a meta description be?
About 150–160 characters is a common guideline so search engines don't cut it off.
Are my files or text uploaded anywhere?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you enter or open is sent to our servers or stored by us.
