Word Frequency Extractor
The word frequency extractor counts how many times each word, or each two-word phrase, appears in your text and ranks them from most to least common. Use it to find the real keywords of an article, spot overused words in your writing, or check keyword density. Nothing you paste leaves your browser.
Count word frequency
How it counts
The text is lower-cased and split into words made of letters and digits, keeping apostrophes inside words such as “don’t”. Each word is counted once per occurrence. With the common-word filter on, very frequent words like “the”, “and” and “of” are skipped so the interesting words rise to the top. Two-word mode counts adjacent pairs, which is better for finding phrases such as “file size” or “release date”.
What to use it for
- SEO: check which words your page actually emphasises and compare them with your target keyword.
- Editing: find crutch words you repeat too often.
- Research: get the main themes of an interview, survey answer set or transcript.
- Study: list the most common vocabulary in a text you are learning from.
Keyword density
The percentage column is the word’s share of all counted words. Density = occurrences ÷ total words × 100. There is no magic target; a keyword that reads naturally in the title, first paragraph and a few headings matters more than hitting a number. If one word sits above 3 to 4 percent, re-read the text for repetition.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with other languages?
Yes for splitting words in any script that uses letters. The stop-word list is English only, so switch the filter off for other languages.
Is my text stored?
No. Everything runs in your browser.
