Counting basis

Word mode counts English words. For languages such as Chinese, where length is measured in characters, character mode ignores spaces and applies a 5.5-characters-per-word conversion.

This is an estimate, not real pagination. Paragraph breaks, headings, images and margins all affect the final count. Check the page count in your document editor before submitting.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

01 / FEATURES
[ SECURE ]

Interpolated words-per-page table

Times New Roman 12pt, single spaced, Letter paper with 1-inch margins is the 500-words-per-page baseline. Font width, size, spacing, margins and paper size adjust that baseline.

[ FAST ]

Word count and character count basis

Word mode uses the same word rule as Word Counter. Character mode counts characters without spaces and converts the page capacity at 5.5 characters per word.

Instant recalculation

Every parameter change recomputes the estimate without pressing a button.

ABOUT WORDS PER PAGE

02 / OVERVIEW

What it solves

A word limit and a page limit are not the same thing. Writers planning a chapter, a script or an essay need a quick conversion before they start writing, not a full typesetting engine.

Three presets cover the common cases — single spaced, double spaced and the 12pt double-spaced manuscript format — while the advanced controls let you change font, size, spacing, paper and margins.

INPUT → OUTPUTEXAMPLE_001
2,000 words · Times New Roman 12pt · single spaced · Letter

=> 4.0 pages (500 words per page). With double spacing: 8.0 pages (250 words per page).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

04 / FAQ
Is this the exact page count my document editor will show?

No. It is an estimate. Paragraph breaks, headings, tables, images and real font metrics can move the final page count. Check in your document editor before submitting.

Why does double spacing double the page count?

Fewer lines fit on a page, so the same 2,000 words take roughly twice as many pages — about 8 instead of 4.

Does this work for Chinese text?

Chinese does not separate words with spaces, so the word basis is unreliable. Use the character basis and read the note on the tool, and treat the result as a rough planning figure.

Do I need to paste my whole document?

No. Entering a number is enough. If you do paste text, it is processed locally and never uploaded.
