Frequently Asked Questions
Where is my note saved?
In this browser’s local storage for Zutilium, on this device only. It is not uploaded or synced, and other browsers and devices cannot see it.
When could I lose my note?
Clearing browsing or site data removes it, and private windows discard it when they close. Some browsers, including Safari, can also delete stored data for sites you have not visited for a while. Download notes you want to keep.
Can I use it in two tabs?
Each tab saves its own text when you type, so the tab you edited last overwrites the other. Use one notepad tab at a time.
How are words and characters counted?
Words are runs of text containing a letter or number, separated by spaces or line breaks. Characters include spaces and line breaks, and an emoji counts as one. Languages written without spaces, such as Chinese, count each run of text as one word.
Which files can I open?
Plain text files up to 4 MB, such as .txt notes. UTF-8 files, and UTF-16 files that start with a byte order mark, open as they are; other files are read as Windows-1252. Word documents and PDFs are not supported.
How long can a note be?
Up to 1,000,000 characters. Browsers allow each site only a few megabytes of storage, so if a save fails the notepad says so; download the note to keep a copy.
