Have you ever wondered how many pages a certain number of words would fill? We’ve got your answer, plus a helpful calculator to help you figure out how many pages a certain number of words would fill.
In this article we answer your questions on how many pages a set amount of words are. For these calculations, we’re assuming a standard font like Arial or Times New Roman, 12 point with one inch margins on a typical U.S. letter-sized page of 8.5x11 inches.
If it’s single-spaced, 300 words would fill about ⅓ of a page. If it’s double-spaced, it would fill around 2/3rds of a page.
As an estimate, five hundred words will fill around one page.
A single-spaced page would fill up around 1 ½ pages.
A text of 800 words is slightly over the space of 750, coming in at around 1.6 pages.
A single-spaced text of 1,000 words would be around two pages.
A text of 1200 words is around 2.4 pages, nearly two and a half pages worth of text.
1500 words will fill around 3 pages.
If you need to write a 2,000 word essay, paper or speech, you’re looking at around 4 pages, single-spaced.
Considering that each page holds around 500 words, a 2500 word text would span around 5 pages.
Three thousand words is around 6 pages of single-spaced text.
With single-spaced formatting, 4,000 words equals out to around 8 pages.
5,000 words would fill around 10 pages.
Once you hit 10,000 words, you’re looking at around 20 pages of text.
1,000 words double-spaced would be around 4 pages, assuming that one double-spaced page can hold around 250 words.
1,500 words will fill around 6 pages double-spaced.
We’ve taken quite a jump from a few thousand words all the way to 50,000. A work that is 50,000 words long would be around 100 pages.
So far, we’ve focused on how many pages a specific number of words would fill, but how many pages are the books we enjoy reading? Here are the page counts of some of the most popular novels.

The page count for Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment ranges from 500-700 words long.
Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is between 250-400 pages. The difference is, like all novels, due to publisher preferences in terms of font size, formatting and layout.

I love the tool. Not only does it detect ACTUAL Al written content, but also writers who write just like Al. Great way to weed out Al and poor writing. Just because content was written by a human doesn't mean they did any better than an Al tool. We had a lot of our writers test positive for Al and they didn't use Al. What was common in all their writing was the lack of original thoughts. It was all regurgitation.

After doing some serious testing with Originality (which caters for the newerAl tech), I can't fool it (yet).

So what can we learn from this? In many cases, the tool tells the right story, even when it's nuanced, like in the case of AI content edited by humans.

I realize that AI content isn't going away and with human editing, it can save time/make blog content better. That said, I've also had writers submit content that was 100% AI and never told me. A BIG no-no. This tool (Originality.ai) is what I'm using to stop that.

Originality.ai did a fantastic job on all three prompts, precisely detecting them as AI-written. Additionally, after I checked with actual human-written textual content, it did determine it as 100% human-generated, which is important.
