Analysing how often each word appears in a text reveals patterns invisible to casual reading: overused words that weaken writing, keyword density for SEO optimisation, vocabulary distribution in academic work, or repeated terminology in legal contracts. This word frequency analyser counts every unique word and ranks them by frequency. Filter out common stop words (the, a, is, of) to focus on meaningful content vocabulary, or include them for complete corpus analysis. Sort results by frequency or alphabetically, and export the frequency table as a CSV for use in spreadsheets or data analysis tools. A content strategist auditing a product landing page might discover that a single adjective like "innovative" appears fourteen times, diluting its impact — the frequency table makes that redundancy immediately visible. A PhD student analysing the speeches of two political candidates can paste each transcript in turn and compare which policy terms dominate each speaker's vocabulary. A paralegal reviewing a lengthy commercial contract can quickly identify the most repeated clause keywords, flagging areas of unusual emphasis before a senior attorney digs in. Writers, editors, students, SEO professionals, and legal researchers all benefit from seeing their text through a numerical lens. Teachers use it to compare student essays for vocabulary range, while marketers rely on it to verify that target keywords appear with the right density across a web page without tipping into over-optimisation. Translators working between languages find frequency analysis helpful for identifying core terminology before building a glossary. All processing happens directly in your browser — no text is sent to any server, so sensitive documents such as confidential contracts, unpublished manuscripts, or personal data remain entirely private. Paste any length of text, adjust the stop-word filter to suit your purpose, and download the ready-to-use CSV in seconds.
