About Word Frequency Counter — Keyword Density & Count
A word frequency counter ranks how often each word appears in a block of text, surfacing the terms that actually carry your message. Writers use it to check keyword density and avoid repetition, SEO teams use it to see which phrases dominate a page, and students and researchers use it to summarize long documents at a glance.
This free word count tool tokenizes your text on word boundaries, folds case so "The" and "the" count together, and can strip common English stop words so the meaningful words rise to the top. Everything runs entirely in your browser — paste a whole article and nothing is ever uploaded.
Features
- Rank every word by frequency, with counts and percentage share
- Toggle a bundled English stop-word list to hide filler words
- Case folding merges "Word" and "word"; flip it off for exact case
- Minimum length filter drops short tokens; fully offline and private
How to use
- Paste or type your text into the input pane.
- Toggle stop-words off to drop common filler words like "the" and "and".
- Adjust case-sensitivity or the minimum word length to refine the ranking.
- Read the ranked table, or copy it as tab-separated values for a spreadsheet.
Frequently asked questions
What are stop words?
Stop words are extremely common function words — "the", "and", "of", "to" — that appear in almost every sentence and usually dominate a raw frequency count. Filtering them out lets the meaningful, topic-specific words stand out.
What does the percentage column mean?
The percentage is each word's share of the total counted tokens: count ÷ total × 100. With stop-words or a minimum length applied, "total" reflects only the words that passed those filters, so the percentages always sum to about 100%.
Is this the same as keyword density?
Yes — keyword density is just the frequency of a term expressed as a percentage of the text. The percentage column gives you exactly that for every word, which is handy for content and SEO analysis.
Does my text get uploaded anywhere?
No. All tokenizing and counting happens locally in your browser. Your text never leaves your device, so you can safely analyze drafts, private notes, or confidential documents.
