About
The Word Frequency Counter analyzes any block of text and produces a ranked table showing each unique word, its occurrence count, its percentage of the total word count, and a proportional bar. You can filter out common English stop words (like 'the', 'and', 'is') to focus on meaningful vocabulary, set a minimum word length to skip short tokens, and limit results to the top N words. Results can be copied as tab-separated text or exported directly to a CSV file for further analysis in a spreadsheet. Everything runs locally in your browser — no account, no server, no internet connection required after the page loads.
How to use
- Paste or type your text into the input box, or click **Sample** to try a built-in example.
- Adjust the options: set a minimum word length, choose how many top words to display, and optionally enable **Filter common stop words** to remove filler words like 'the' and 'and'.
- The frequency table updates instantly as you type, showing each word's rank, count, percentage share, and a visual bar.
- Click **Frequency** or **A–Z** to re-sort the results. Use **Copy** to grab the table as tab-separated text, or **Export CSV** to download a spreadsheet-ready file.
FAQ
- Is this word frequency tool completely free?
- Yes, it is 100% free with no sign-up, no subscription, and no usage limits. Just open the page and start analyzing.
- Does it work offline? Is my text kept private?
- Yes. All analysis happens entirely inside your browser. Your text is never uploaded to any server, making it safe for confidential documents, manuscripts, or proprietary content.
- What does the stop words filter do?
- It removes very common English function words — articles, prepositions, pronouns, and auxiliary verbs (e.g., 'the', 'a', 'in', 'is', 'you') — so the results highlight the meaningful content words in your text.
- Can I export the word frequency results to Excel?
- Yes. Click **Export CSV** to download a CSV file containing the word, count, and percentage for each entry. Open it directly in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet app.
- How is the percentage calculated for each word?
- Each word's percentage is its occurrence count divided by the total number of words that passed the current filters (min length and stop words), multiplied by 100. It reflects the word's share of the filtered word pool, not the raw input.
