Word Frequency Counter for Any Text
The word frequency counter shows how many times each word appears in your text and the keyword density it represents, so you can see exactly what your writing is made of. Paste or type your content and the frequency table updates as you go — no button to press, nothing to install.
Use it to spot overused words, check keyword density for SEO, study writing patterns, or find the most common words in a document. It is built for SEO specialists, content writers, copywriters, editors, students, and researchers who need a fast, honest look at their text.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I count how often a word appears in text?
Paste or type your text into the box. The tool tallies every word automatically and lists each one with its count and density percentage, so you can see exactly how often it appears.
How do I find the most common words in a document?
Sort the table by Frequency (High→Low) and the most common words rise to the top. Turn on the Stop Words filter first if you want to skip everyday words like "the" and "and" and see the meaningful keywords instead.
What is keyword density?
Keyword density is the percentage of times a word appears compared with the total word count. If "marketing" appears 5 times in a 200-word article, its density is 2.5%. SEO writers often aim to keep a primary keyword in the 1–3% range.
Can I exclude stop words like "the", "and", and "of"?
Yes. Turn on the Stop Words toggle to remove common words that appear often but carry little meaning. The right list loads automatically for your language, so the results focus on the words that matter.
Is the count case-sensitive?
By default it is not — "Hello" and "hello" are counted as the same word. Enable the Case Sensitive toggle if you want them counted separately.
Does it work for phrases, not just single words?
This tool counts individual words. Text is split into words wherever a non-letter, non-number character appears, so spaces and punctuation act as separators. A hyphenated word such as "e-mail" is counted as two words, "e" and "mail".
What is the difference between Total Words and Unique Words?
Total Words is the full word count including repeats. Unique Words is the number of distinct words after your filters are applied, each counted once no matter how often it appears.
Does it support my language?
Yes. Word counting works for any Unicode text, including accented, Asian, and right-to-left scripts. Stop-word filtering is available for 40+ languages, among them English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Arabic, and Hindi.
Can I analyze long documents?
Yes. The analyzer handles large texts efficiently. Very long documents may take a brief moment to process, but the built-in debounce keeps the interface responsive while you edit.
Is my text stored anywhere?
No. All processing happens in your browser with JavaScript. Your text is never uploaded, saved, logged, or sent to any server. To keep a copy of the results, use the Copy button or Export CSV.
