Count the words in an EPUB

Your file is opened in this browser and never uploaded.

How it counts

  • Words are counted in the reading order of the book, chapter by chapter.
  • Chinese, Japanese and Korean text counts characters, as editors do.
  • Reading time at 250 words a minute; printed pages at 300 words a page.

FAQ

Is my file uploaded?

No. Your browser opens the EPUB and counts it; nothing is sent anywhere.

Why doesn't it match my word processor exactly?

Tools split words differently (hyphens, numbers, URLs). The difference is usually under 1 %.
