The free keyword extractor runs in your browser, needs no sign-up and never sends what you type anywhere.
Quick answer
This keyword extractor finds the main keywords and two to four word key phrases in any text, removes stop words and ranks them by how often they appear. Use it on your own draft to confirm the main topic stands out, and on a top ranking page to spot subtopics you have not covered.
What is a keyword extractor from text?
A keyword extractor is a tool that pulls the most important terms out of a text. This one splits the text at punctuation and stop words into candidate phrases, counts each phrase, and ranks them by frequency with a small bonus for longer phrases.
How do you use the Keyword Extractor from Text?
- Paste your article, page copy or a competitor page into the box.
- Choose how many keywords to show and whether to include single words.
- Read the ranked list of key phrases and their counts.
- Compare the top phrases with the keyword you want the page to rank for.
- Copy the keyword list for your brief, tags or content plan.
How do I find the main keywords of an article?
Paste the article into a keyword extractor and look at the top 5 to 10 phrases. They should match the topic of the page. If the target keyword is missing from the top of the list, the page may not cover it clearly enough in the copy and headings.
Can I extract keywords from a competitor page?
Yes. Copy the main body text of a competitor page and paste it here. The extracted phrases show the subtopics they cover, which you can compare with your own page to find gaps. Write your own content rather than copying theirs, since Google treats lightly reworded copied content as scraped content.
How many times should a keyword appear on a page?
There is no fixed number. Use the main keyword where it reads naturally, typically in the title, the first paragraph and at least one heading, and use related phrases elsewhere. Repeating a keyword unnaturally is keyword stuffing, which goes against Google's spam policies.
Quick reference
| Phrase type | Example | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Single word | backlinks | The broad topic |
| 2 word phrase | guest posts | Main subtopics and head terms |
| 3 word phrase | broken link building | Specific methods and long tail terms |
| 4 word phrase | google business profile reviews | Very specific intents and questions |
Worked example
Example
Example: a 1,200 word guide on local SEO returns "google business profile" (9 times), "local seo" (8), "reviews" (7) and "map pack" (5). The target keyword "local seo for dentists" appears only once, so the writer adds it to the H1 and the first paragraph and covers dentist specific tips.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a word frequency counter?
A word frequency counter lists every word or fixed length phrase. The keyword extractor builds natural key phrases of one to four words that never include stop words, removes shorter phrases that only appear inside a longer one and ranks the result.
Why are some phrases missing words like of or for?
Phrases are split at stop words, so "cost of link building" becomes "cost" and "link building". This keeps the list focused on content words. Check the original text for the full natural phrase before you use it as a target keyword.
Does this tool show search volume?
No. It only analyzes the text you paste, so it shows what the content is about, not how often people search for each phrase. Check promising phrases in a keyword research tool for volume and difficulty.
Can I use the extracted keywords as meta keywords?
You can, but Google ignores the meta keywords tag for ranking. Use the extracted phrases instead to check your title, headings, image alt text and internal anchor text, where they help readers and search engines understand the page.
What is the minimum text length for good results?
Paste at least 300 words. Short texts give few repeated phrases, so most terms appear only once and the ranking means little. A full article of 800 words or more gives the clearest list of main topics.
Is the text I paste kept private?
Yes. Extraction runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded or stored, so you can analyze drafts, client content or competitor pages without sharing them with any service.
