Keyword Cloud Test

Use this keyword cloud test to paste a manuscript or listing and see which words show up most — as a downloadable word cloud and a keyword density table built for finding backend keywords.

Manuscript intro, back-cover copy, or your Amazon listing description — anything you want a keyword read on.

Keyword density

Paste some text above to see keyword frequency and density.

Why keyword density matters for KDP

Your book's title, subtitle, description, and 7 backend keyword fields are how Amazon's search decides what your book is about. If your description repeats the wrong words (or never mentions the words shoppers actually search), you're invisible to searches you should be ranking for.

Everything here runs in your browser: your text and downloads never leave your device.

After the test

The keyword cloud test reads only the text you paste — it shows what your copy repeats, not what shoppers type. For that, run your main phrase through the Amazon Search Suggestion Expander. Then fit the phrases worth keeping into your title, subtitle and seven backend keyword boxes with the KDP Keyword Generator, or let Listing Studio draft the listing from the book itself. The guide to checking keyword density for KDP covers what to change once you have the numbers.

Frequently asked questions

What is this actually useful for on KDP?

Two things: a quick visual gut-check of what your description or manuscript intro is actually about (the word cloud), and a keyword frequency/density table that surfaces 2- and 3-word phrases worth trying in your book's 7 backend-keyword fields or your title/subtitle.

Does this send my text anywhere?

No — everything runs in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, and the word cloud is drawn right on your device.

Why are some common words missing from the cloud?

By default, common words ("the", "and", "of"...) are excluded so the cloud reflects actual content — toggle "Exclude common words" off in Options if you want them included.

Why did some of my words not appear in the cloud?

The word cloud packs words into a fixed canvas without overlaps — if you asked for more words than can fit at a readable size, the lowest-frequency ones are dropped (a note under the cloud tells you when this happens). The keyword density table below it always shows every word or phrase, regardless of what fit in the image.

What's the difference between single words and phrases in the density table?

Single-word density tells you what your text repeats most. The 2- and 3-word phrase tabs count the short phrases in your text and are a closer match to how KDP's backend-keyword fields and real buyer search queries actually work — most searches aren't one word.

Is there a good keyword density to aim for?

No single figure, and this tool does not grade your text. Density here is each word's share of what you pasted. Use it to spot a word you lean on too hard, or a phrase shoppers use that never appears, then read the sentence it sits in and decide.

Do I need an account to use this?

No — no login, no watermark, no limit on how many times you regenerate.
