Frequently asked questions
How many words per minute is the default?
The base estimate uses 200 words per minute, a common figure for average adult web reading. You can switch to silent (238), studious (150), narration (130) or presentation (100) wpm, or type your own.
Does it account for images?
Yes. When layout overhead is on it adds roughly 12 seconds per image and small pauses between paragraphs, and it auto-detects markdown and HTML image tags in your paste.
How do I get a “3 min read” badge?
Use the silent or 200 wpm assumption and round up to the nearest minute. The tool shows exact minutes and seconds so you can decide how to display it.
Is the calculation private?
Entirely. The text is counted in your browser and never sent to a server.
