What is Word Frequency Counter?
A word frequency counter tallies how often every word appears and ranks them. It is the quickest way to see what a text is actually about — the top words are its vocabulary fingerprint — and to catch your own overused phrases before an editor does.
The tool tokenizes on whitespace and punctuation, offers case-insensitive counting, and shows each word's share of the total. Stopwords like 'the' naturally dominate; excluding them is what surfaces the meaningful terms.

Common use cases

- Extracting candidate keywords from customer feedback or reviews.
Frequently asked questions
▸How are words counted in Chinese text?
Without spaces, Chinese is grouped by consecutive characters rather than dictionary words — for Chinese keyword analysis use a dedicated segmentation tool.
▸What are stopwords?
High-frequency function words — the, is, and, 的 — that carry little topic meaning. Filtering them lets content words rise to the top of the ranking.
