Heron Word Frequency Counter

Count word frequency in any text instantly — no signup, no file uploads, completely free. Paste an article, essay, blog post, or any text and see exactly which words appear most often. Filter common stop words, toggle case sensitivity, and view results as a sorted table with visual frequency bars. Unlike WordCounter.net or online word cloud generators, your text never leaves your device. Everything runs in your browser using JavaScript.

How does the word frequency counter work?

Paste or type your text, then click Analyze. The tool splits your text into individual words, counts how many times each word appears, and displays results sorted by frequency with percentages and a visual bar chart.

Can I filter out common words like "the" and "a"?

Yes. Toggle the "Ignore common words" option to filter out stop words like the, a, an, is, are, was, it, and 100+ other common English words. This lets you focus on meaningful keywords in your text.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. All analysis runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device. No data is collected, stored, or transmitted.

Is there a text length limit?

No hard limit. The tool runs in your browser, so it can handle thousands of words instantly. Very large texts (100K+ words) may take a moment to process depending on your device.
