Frequently Asked Questions
Are my documents or text snippets stored or uploaded?
No. All text transformations and cleanup operations run locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your content is never transmitted to any server or saved in a remote database.
Can I process large files or multi-page documents?
Yes. The tools handle thousands of lines and paragraphs without problem. For massive datasets, processing speed depends on your local browser memory and CPU.
What is the difference between word counting and character counting?
Word count calculates groups of characters separated by whitespace or punctuation, while character count tallies every individual letter, number, symbol, and space. ConvertCasePro provides counters with and without spaces to meet publisher or academic guidelines.
Can I combine multiple text cleanup actions?
Yes. You can use the copy button to chain utilities together — for example, removing duplicate lines first, then stripping extra whitespace, and finally normalizing the casing.
