How it works
- 1 Paste your text Click the input area and paste or type the text you want to analyse. The frequency table updates as you type.
- 2 Adjust the options Toggle case sensitivity to treat 'The' and 'the' as different words, or set a minimum word length to skip short words like 'a' and 'is'.
- 3 Read the results The table lists every unique word sorted by count, with the percentage of total words each one represents.

Frequently asked questions
- What counts as a word?
- Any run of letters or digits, including hyphenated words like 'well-known' and contractions like 'don't'. Punctuation is ignored, and Unicode text (Cyrillic, accented letters, CJK) is fully supported.
- Is the counter case-sensitive?
- By default no — 'Word' and 'word' are counted together. Turn on the case-sensitive option to count them separately.
- How is the percentage calculated?
- Each word's count is divided by the total number of words in the text and rounded to one decimal place. The percentages show how much of your text each word occupies.
- What is keyword density and why does it matter?
- Keyword density is the share of your text made up of a specific keyword. SEO writers keep it in a natural range — typically under 2–3% — because stuffing a keyword makes text read poorly and can hurt rankings.
- Does my text leave my device?
- No. All counting happens in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored on any server.
