# Document statistics > Browser-only file conversion. Selected files are processed on this device and are not uploaded to a conversion server. Source: https://localconverter.tech/document-stats Count extracted words, paragraphs and headings in supported text documents. DOCX extraction includes warnings; PDF needs selectable text. Run the existing OCR tool before analyzing scanned pages. Paste UTF-8 text into the main input or upload a matching file. A selected file takes priority over the pasted text. ## Useful tasks - Count readable text in PDF or DOCX documents. - Inspect document text statistics before editing. - Identify when scanned PDF pages need OCR first. ## Steps 1. **Provide the source**: Paste UTF-8 text into the main input or upload a matching file. A selected file takes priority over the pasted text. Read the operation note before starting, because supported syntax and file limits are part of the result contract. The original file is not overwritten or renamed by this workflow. 2. **Choose the intended result**: This operation uses a fixed report format, so no extra output configuration is required. Change settings according to the file or text you actually supplied. Defaults are a starting point rather than a promise that every source uses the same conventions. DOCX extraction includes warnings; PDF needs selectable text. Run the existing OCR tool before analyzing scanned pages. 3. **Create and inspect the output**: Use the main action button to run document statistics. Local processing checks the source and reports malformed or unsupported inputs. A completed job appears in Your results, with a download action and a preview when the output supports it. If the operation fails, read its message and correct the source or settings before retrying; changing only a filename does not change file contents. 4. **Save and verify the result**: Download the finished output and open it in the application or workflow that will consume it. Choose the original source, adjust the settings, create the result and inspect the saved output. Check the values, layout, encoding or parsed structure relevant to your task. Keep the source when you may need another set of settings later. Temporary job downloads are session-owned and expire; saving your own copy is the way to retain a result. ## Settings ## Try document statistics with a small source Try this source: # Project notes Review the document locally.. Use the initial settings, inspect the result and then change one setting to understand its effect. DOCX extraction includes warnings; PDF needs selectable text. Run the existing OCR tool before analyzing scanned pages. ## Check the result Choose the original source, adjust the settings, create the result and inspect the saved output. PDF requires selectable text; scans need OCR first. DOCX reports include extraction warnings. Counts describe extracted text, not exact Word pagination. Open the saved output in the app or workflow where you plan to use it. Check one representative result before repeating the same settings with more files. The original files stay unchanged. ## Limits - Files are processed on this device. Browser memory and engine-specific limits apply. Save results before reloading. - PDF requires selectable text; scans need OCR first. DOCX reports include extraction warnings. Counts describe extracted text, not exact Word pagination. - Upload one file with a combined size of at most 100 MB. The completed output must fit within 200 MB. - Pasted text and uploaded text have operation-specific UTF-8 byte limits. Productivity tools accept up to 1 MiB (1,048,576 bytes); non-ASCII characters can use several bytes each. If a file is selected, it takes priority over pasted text. - Selections and completed jobs stay available while you navigate inside this tab. Use My files to revisit results. Reloading or closing the tab clears the workspace; download results you want to keep first. ## Questions ### What does Document statistics produce? Count extracted words, paragraphs and headings in supported text documents. DOCX extraction includes warnings; PDF needs selectable text. Run the existing OCR tool before analyzing scanned pages. ### Which source should I use? Paste UTF-8 text into the main input or upload a matching file. A selected file takes priority over the pasted text. Supported file extensions are txt, md, markdown, html, htm, docx, pdf. The processing engine checks actual contents; a matching extension alone does not make malformed content valid. ### Why did this input fail? PDF requires selectable text; scans need OCR first. DOCX reports include extraction warnings. Counts describe extracted text, not exact Word pagination. Check syntax, required inputs and the ranges shown next to settings. An error keeps unsupported data from being presented as a successful conversion. Correct the source and retry rather than repeatedly resubmitting an unchanged invalid input. ### How should I check the download? Choose the original source, adjust the settings, create the result and inspect the saved output. Review the saved content in its destination application, including a typical case and any boundary values important to your use. A completed operation confirms processing finished; it cannot determine whether the supplied settings match your wider business requirements. ### Does Document statistics upload files to another service? Processing runs in this browser, on your device. Files and pasted input are not uploaded to a conversion server. The website and required engine assets must load first; large operations depend on available device memory. ### Can I continue after changing pages? Selections and completed jobs stay available while you navigate inside this tab. Use My files to revisit results. Reloading or closing the tab clears the workspace; download results you want to keep first. ## Related guides - [Word & character counter](https://localconverter.tech/count-text.md) - [DOCX preview & extraction](https://localconverter.tech/docx-preview.md) - [OCR image or scanned PDF](https://localconverter.tech/ocr-document.md) - [PDF to TXT](https://localconverter.tech/pdf-to-txt.md) - [PDF to PNG](https://localconverter.tech/pdf-to-png.md)
