Combien de pages pour 2 500 mots ?

With standard 12-point Times New Roman and one-inch margins, 2,500 words comes out to roughly 5 pages single spaced or 10 pages double spaced. That is the ballpark most professors and editors use.

Real-world use: Twenty-five hundred words supports several subheadings, examples, and a FAQ section without feeling padded. Pillar content for websites often targets this range.

Academic note: Honors theses sections and capstone drafts may run 2,500+ words.

Double spacing is the default for college essays in the US. Single spacing is more common for blog posts, business documents, and anything you read on a screen.

Font size shifts things. Drop to 11-point and you squeeze in a few more words per page. Bump to 14-point for accessibility and your page count goes up even if the word count stays the same.

Margins matter too. Narrow margins (0.5 inch) can add 10–15% more text per page. Wide margins do the opposite. APA and MLA both specify one-inch margins, so stick with that for academic work.

At an average reading speed of 225 words per minute, 2,500 words takes about 11 minutes to read aloud.
