What this tool does

Count real PDF pages and words in extractable text, including supported Hindi text. This does not run OCR. A scan can have many visible words but no text layer, so a zero-word result may be correct.

Inputs are up to 25 MB each, subject to the existing plan page limit. Text input is up to 500 KB. Jobs have a 90-second processing deadline and a 128 MB output budget. Existing upload checks, virus scan, queue and automatic deletion apply. Changed PDFs lose valid digital signatures.

Files are processed in India, virus-scanned, and deleted automatically after one hour.

Common questions

Why can a scan show zero words?

Visible scanned pixels are not a text layer. OCR can add searchable text first.

Will Hindi be counted?

When the PDF exposes usable Unicode text, language-aware segmentation can count it.

Will this match every editor’s word total?

No. Text extraction order and word-boundary rules differ, especially with columns, symbols and broken text layers.
