Uploadwords.com is a free text analyzer that runs in a web browser. Paste text or upload a .TXT file, and it returns a word count, a character count, a ranked list of frequent words and a word cloud you can save as a PNG.
No account is needed. This guide walks through the tool, checks its privacy claims against its own policy and compares it with two free alternatives.
What uploadwords.com does
The analyzer sits on the tool page at uploadwords.com/upload-words/. The homepage, FAQ and blog run on the same WordPress site, which lists [email protected] as its contact address.
| Feature | What the site states |
|---|---|
| Word and character count | Shown after you press Analyze |
| Top keywords | A table of the most frequent words with counts |
| Word cloud | Preview with a Download PNG button |
| Filters | Remove stopwords and set a minimum word length |
| Input | Paste text or upload a .TXT file up to 4 MB |
| Cost | Free, no signup |
How to use the uploadwords.com tool
- Open the tool page from the Tool link in the top menu.
- Choose Paste Text or Upload File. Uploads accept .TXT files only.
- Set the filters before you analyze. Remove stopwords drops common filler words from the keyword table, and the minimum length setting hides short words.
- Press Analyze. Results appear under three tabs: Word Count, Top Keywords and Word Cloud.
- Press Download PNG to save the cloud, or Copy Results to take the numbers.
Word counters can treat hyphenated terms, numbers and URLs differently. Paste a short sample whose count you already know to see how this one handles them.
How to check where your pasted text goes
The tool page says the analysis runs in your browser and that nothing is saved. You can test that claim in a few minutes with the developer tools built into Chrome, Edge or Firefox.
- Open the tool page and press F12 (Cmd+Option+I on a Mac).
- Select the Network tab and clear the existing entries.
- Paste a test sentence that contains a made-up word, such as “zorblex”, and press Analyze.
- Watch the list for new requests that fire when you press the button.
- Click each new request and search its payload for “zorblex”. If the word appears, your text left the device.
Run this test with dummy text, not the document you plan to analyze.
What the uploadwords.com privacy policy says
The policy took effect on February 15, 2026. Its wording is looser than the promise on the tool page.
| Topic | Tool page and FAQ | Privacy policy |
|---|---|---|
| Pasted text | Stays in the browser; not stored or shared | Processed to produce results; the site aims to use it for nothing else |
| IP address | Not mentioned | May be logged for security and abuse prevention |
| Cookies | Not mentioned | May be used for analytics and security |
| Third parties | Not mentioned | Hosting, analytics and security providers may receive data |
| Sensitive data | Not mentioned | Users are told not to paste passwords, bank details or ID numbers |
The two statements do not contradict each other, since browser-side analysis still counts as processing. But the policy never repeats the browser-only promise, so no binding document guarantees it. Keep confidential drafts out of the tool.
Limits of the uploadwords.com analyzer
File uploads accept plain text only, up to 4 MB. The tool page says DOCX support may be added later.
The homepage FAQ still describes file uploads as coming soon, while the tool page already accepts .TXT files. The two pages are out of sync.
The listed features cover counts and word frequency. The site lists no readability score, reading-time estimate or grammar check.
The footer names no company or postal address. Contact runs through one email address, with Facebook, LinkedIn and Trustpilot profiles linked beside it.
Latest trends on uploadwords.com
The homepage carries a Latest Trends feed pulled from the blog. Searches for “trends uploadwords .com” lead to this section.

Posts credited to Nicai de Guzman stay close to the tool. They cover word cloud generation, finding top keywords and the gap between keyword density and keyword frequency.
Newer posts by an account named “adminhere” move to other subjects. Titles from October 31 and November 2, 2026, deal with Windows VPNs, SERP scraping and the Dreamina AI video generator.
None of these posts carries a sponsored label.
