Keyword Extractor

Find the most frequent meaningful words in text after removing common stop words, ranked in a word-and-count table.

The Keyword Extractor analyses a block of text and surfaces the words that appear most often, after stripping out common English stop words such as the, and, for, and with. The result is a ranked table pairing each meaningful keyword with the number of times it occurs, giving you a fast read on what a piece of writing is really about.

It is a practical companion for SEO work, content audits, and research. Writers can check that a target keyword actually appears often enough, editors can spot overused terms, and analysts can summarise long documents or transcripts by their dominant vocabulary. Because filler words are removed, the ranking focuses on the substantive language that carries meaning.

Everything runs locally in your browser using JavaScript, so nothing is uploaded and no account is required. Paste your text, tune the minimum word length and how many keywords to show, and read the ranked table plus totals for how many unique keywords were found. Since the analysis stays on your device, unpublished drafts and confidential content remain private.

Benefits

  • Reveals the true focus of a document by ranking its substantive words.
  • Helps SEO writers confirm target terms appear with enough frequency.
  • Lets editors catch repetitive or overused vocabulary at a glance.
  • Summarises long transcripts and reports by their dominant keywords.
  • Keeps unpublished content private because nothing is uploaded anywhere.
  • Saves time versus counting word frequency manually or in a spreadsheet.

Words are lowercased before counting, so Marketing and marketing are treated as the same keyword, and the ranking then sorts by frequency with ties broken alphabetically for a stable order. The stop-word list covers the most common English function words; disabling it can be useful when those words are genuinely meaningful to your analysis, such as when studying writing style rather than topic.

The minimum length and top-N controls let you tune the signal: raising the minimum length filters out short words that survive stop-word removal, while lowering the top count keeps the table focused on the headline terms. For a full per-word breakdown without stop-word filtering, use the Word Frequency Counter; to simply measure length and readability, try the Word Counter. All of these run offline for complete privacy.
