Frequently asked questions

Is it free to use?

Yes. It is free, with no sign-up.

Are my files or text uploaded?

No. This tool runs in your browser, so your files are processed on your own device and are never uploaded to our servers.

How much text do I need?

A sentence or two is enough for common languages; very short text is harder to identify.

Can it detect mixed languages?

It reports the most likely language, so text that mixes several may give an uncertain answer.
