Word Frequency Counter

What the Word Frequency Counter does

This tool reads a block of text and counts word frequencies live, updating a ranked table the instant you type or paste, with no button to press. It is handy for writers checking for repetition, students analyzing a passage, editors hunting for overused phrasing, and anyone curious about keyword density in an article. A few controls let you sort the results by count, alphabetically or least-frequent first, set a minimum word length, limit the view to the top N words (10, 20, 50, 100 or all), and toggle Remove common words to drop stopwords like “the”, “and” and “of”. Each row shows the word, a mini bar sized to its frequency, and the count, while running totals report both Total words and Unique words. You can copy the list or export it as CSV, and the whole thing happens in your browser, so the text you paste never leaves your device.

How to use it

1. Paste or type your text into the input box at the top of the page.
2. Watch the ranked table appear instantly as you type. There is no button to press.
3. Use the controls to shape the view: sort by count, alphabetically or least-frequent first, set a minimum word length, turn on Remove common words to hide stopwords, or limit the list to the top N words.
4. Read off the counts, and check Total words and Unique words for a quick summary. Each row’s mini bar shows how a word compares to the rest.
5. Hit Copy to grab the full list, or Export CSV to download a word-and-count file for a spreadsheet, report, or note.

Counting is case-insensitive, so “Apple” and “apple” are added together, and contractions like “it’s” stay intact as a single word.

Why count words here

It is quick. The table updates the moment you type, with no button, no upload step and no waiting on a server. It is private, since every word is counted locally and nothing is stored or sent anywhere. And it is free with no account, no email, and no daily cap.

The ranked table with its mini bars is easy to scan, and the copy and CSV export make it simple to move a frequency list into a spreadsheet or spot a word you have leaned on too hard.

A quick tip

If you want a clean comparison, strip out headers, captions, or repeated boilerplate before pasting, so they do not inflate counts you actually care about. For a one-off passage this tool is all you need. If you regularly process many text files at once, the BulkPro desktop app from the same team is built for that kind of batch work.
