Count words, pages, and characters in a PDF without uploading it.
A word count is useful when you need to check an assignment, estimate reading time, or compare versions of a document. This tool reads the selectable text in your PDF and counts words, pages, and characters in your browser.
It does not upload the file or inspect image pixels. A scanned PDF without a text layer may return a very low count. Use OCR first when you need to count words in a scan.
The PDF is processed in this browser tab. PDFShore does not receive the file or its text.
Only when the scan has an embedded text layer. Run OCR first for image-only pages.
PDF text extraction can handle line breaks, tables, and embedded fonts differently. Treat the result as the count of text available in the PDF.
No. Counting runs locally in your browser.
