What people use N-gram Generator for
- Finding the phrases that repeat across a page of copy before rewriting it.

- Spotting unintentional repetition in a draft, where the same three-word phrase appears in four paragraphs.
N-gram Generator: limits and things worth knowing
- An n-gram is a run of n consecutive words. Bigrams and trigrams are the useful sizes for text analysis: unigrams are just a word count, and anything above four words rarely repeats often enough to be informative.
- Stop words dominate raw n-gram counts — 'of the' will out-rank anything meaningful in almost any English text. Filtering them is what turns the output into a list of topics rather than a list of grammar.
- Frequency alone is not importance. A phrase appearing four times in a short page can matter more than one appearing twenty times in a long one, which is why the density figure is shown alongside the raw count.
- This is a description of the text you supplied, not a ranking signal. Keyword density has not been a meaningful factor in search ranking for well over a decade, and writing to hit a density target reliably produces worse copy.
- The text is analysed in your browser, so an unpublished draft or a client document can be examined without it being transmitted anywhere.
Is it private and secure?
Your privacy is built in. N-gram Generator runs completely on your device, so whatever you enter stays in your browser and is never transmitted, logged or stored on any server.
Network activity: none. Nothing is sent and nothing is fetched. This tool makes no network request at all once the page has loaded — which is why it keeps working if your connection drops.
You do not have to take that on trust — our privacy proof page publishes the Content-Security-Policy that enforces it, lists every third party it permits, and shows how to verify the whole claim yourself.

Frequently asked questions
What is an n-gram?
An n-gram is a run of n consecutive items from a text. "Free online tools" contains the bigrams "free online" and "online tools", and the trigram "free online tools". They are the basic unit of most classical text analysis.
What are n-grams used for in SEO?
Repeated bigrams and trigrams across a set of ranking pages reveal the phrasing a topic is actually discussed in, rather than the single keywords a tool reports. They also expose your own over-repetition — the same trigram appearing twenty times usually reads as padding.
Should I remove stop words first?
It depends on the question. For topic discovery, removing "the", "of" and "and" surfaces meaningful pairs. For phrase matching or writing-style analysis, keep them — "out of stock" and "out stock" are not the same phrase.
What value of n should I use?
Bigrams and trigrams carry most of the useful signal. Beyond n=4 the counts collapse toward one occurrence each, because longer exact sequences simply do not repeat in normal prose.
