Use this tool when the question is not just how many words you wrote, but which words dominate the piece. The counter uses browser word segmentation when available, normalizes case by default and lets you hide very short words when they make the table noisy. Copy the result as a tab-separated table for spreadsheets, audits or editorial notes.

What is a word frequency counter?
A word frequency counter ranks the words in your text by how often each one appears. Paste an article, transcript, essay or keyword list and the table updates live with counts, percentages and unique-word stats. Everything runs in your browser, so drafts and client text are not uploaded.
How to use
- 1Paste your text. Add any article, transcript, essay, notes file or list of search queries.
- 2Choose filters. Keep Ignore case on for normal analysis, raise the minimum length to hide tiny words, and pick how many rows to show.
- 3Read the table. Use the count and share columns to see which words dominate the text.
- 4Copy the results. Copy the table as TSV and paste it into a spreadsheet, report or content brief.
Who it's for
- Writers and editors spot repeated phrasing before a draft goes live.
- SEO teams compare page copy, headings and search-query exports without uploading client data.
- Students and researchers summarize themes in interviews, notes and reading passages.
- Product teams scan support tickets or survey comments for recurring language.
FAQ
Is this word frequency counter free?
Yes. The word frequency counter is free, does not require sign-up and works directly in your browser. You can paste normal drafts, long notes or search-query lists and copy the ranked table when you are done.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The analysis runs locally in your browser. Your articles, transcripts, client notes, support tickets and research text stay on your device instead of being sent to a server.
What does the percentage mean?
The percentage shows a word's share of all counted words after your filters are applied. If a word appears 5 times in 100 counted words, its share is 5%.
Should I ignore uppercase and lowercase?
Usually yes. Ignore case combines words such as Search, search and SEARCH into one row, which is better for editing and SEO checks. Turn it off only when capitalization itself matters.
Why use a minimum word length?
A minimum length hides very short words that can crowd the table. Set it to 2, 3 or 4 when tiny function words are less useful than repeated nouns, verbs, product names or topics.
Does it work with non-English text?
Yes. The counter uses Unicode-aware word handling and browser segmentation where available, so it can analyze many languages. Word boundaries can still vary by browser for languages that do not use spaces between words.
Can I export the frequency table?
Yes. Use Copy table to copy a tab-separated table with rank, word, count and percentage. It pastes cleanly into spreadsheets, docs and issue trackers.
