How to Use Keyword Extractor

To extract keywords from text, paste your article, webpage content, or any block of text into the input area. The tool analyses the content, filters out common stop words, and identifies the most significant single words and phrases based on their frequency and prominence in the text.

Results are displayed in a ranked table and visualised as a tag cloud where more frequent keywords appear larger. You can copy the keyword list for use in SEO planning, meta tag creation, or content auditing. This tool is useful for understanding what topics a piece of content focuses on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does keyword extraction do? expand_more

Keyword extraction identifies the most important and frequently occurring words and phrases in a text, filtering out common words like 'the', 'and', and 'is' to reveal the meaningful content terms.

How is keyword importance determined? expand_more

Keywords are ranked primarily by frequency — how often they appear in the text. Some extractors also weight terms that appear in titles or early in the content more heavily.

What are stop words? expand_more

Stop words are very common function words (articles, prepositions, conjunctions) that appear in almost all text and carry little meaning on their own, such as 'the', 'a', 'in', and 'with'. They are filtered out before keyword analysis.

Can I extract keywords from a URL or webpage? expand_more

This tool analyses text you paste directly. To extract keywords from a webpage, copy the page text and paste it into the input, or use a browser extension to extract text first.

Is this the same as keyword research? expand_more

Keyword extraction identifies what terms are already present in existing text. Keyword research identifies what terms people search for. Both are useful in SEO — extraction helps with on-page optimisation while research helps with content planning.
