Free online word frequency counter
This word frequency counter shows which words appear most often in your text, ranked with a bar chart and a density percentage for each. It is useful for checking keyword density in an article, spotting overused words in your writing, and analysing any block of text.
For writers: find your crutch words
Every writer overuses certain words without noticing — just, really, actually, very. Running a draft through a frequency counter surfaces them instantly, so you can vary your language and tighten your prose.
For SEO: check keyword density
Turn on ignore common words to filter out the noise and see your real keywords. A main keyword sitting at roughly 1–2% density reads naturally; pushing it much higher risks looking like keyword stuffing, which search engines penalise. Aim to write for readers first and let the density fall where it naturally does.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I count how often each word appears?
Paste your text and every word is counted automatically, ranked from most to least frequent, with a bar chart and the percentage each word represents.
What is keyword density?
Keyword density is the percentage of your text made up of a given word or phrase. For SEO, a natural density of around 1–2% for your main keyword is usually plenty — higher looks like keyword stuffing.
What are stop words?
Stop words are common words like 'the', 'and' and 'is' that appear frequently but carry little meaning. Turn on 'Ignore common words' to filter them out and focus on your meaningful keywords.
Does it handle other languages?
Yes. Words are detected using Unicode letters, so it works with accented text and non-Latin scripts. The stop-word filter is English-only.
Can I export the results?
Yes. Use the Copy button to copy the full word-and-count list, which pastes cleanly into a spreadsheet.
Is my text private?
Yes. Counting happens entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded and the tool works offline.
