Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Canva account to use this tool?
No. As long as the design URL is set to "Anyone with the link can view" in Canva's sharing settings, our tool can read it without you signing in anywhere.
Why does it say my Canva design can't be accessed?
The design is most likely private. Open it in Canva, click Share, set link access to Anyone with the link, copy the URL again, and retry.
Is my Canva design content stored anywhere?
No. We fetch the design text on demand to compute statistics and return them — we don't store the URL, the extracted text, or your IP.
Does it count text inside images or charts?
It counts every editable text element from the design (titles, paragraphs, captions). Text rasterized inside an uploaded image isn't readable — Canva itself doesn't expose it.
How is reading time calculated?
Using the standard 200 words-per-minute pace. Useful for estimating how long it'll take a viewer to read through a slide deck or document.
