Keyword Highlighter
Highlight custom keywords and phrases inside prose with distinct multi-color themes, whole-word matching, and keyword density analytics.
Target Keywords & Match Settings
This platform compiles Markdown documents into high-fidelity PDF layouts with blazing fast performance. Every operation is executed in browser memory with zero network latency, ensuring your documents remain strictly confidential and completely offline.
Keyword highlighting allows you to visualize critical terms, verify keyword density for content optimization, and quickly audit repeated phrasing across long technical manuscripts.
Client-Side Keyword & Phrase Visualizer
When editing technical articles, optimizing content for search visibility, or auditing legal contracts, finding and visualizing target phrases across lengthy manuscripts is critical. Manual searching with browser find features only highlights one word at a time without multi-color distinction or frequency analytics.
This visual keyword highlighter allows you to enter multiple target keywords or multi-word phrases simultaneously. Each keyword receives a unique, distinguishable color badge from the design system, complete with whole-word matching, case-sensitivity controls, longest-phrase-first match priority, and real-time keyword density calculations.
Core Tool Capabilities
- Multi-Word Phrase Highlighting: Supports single keywords and complex multi-word phrases with longest-match-first priority to avoid collisions.
- Distinct Multi-Color Palette: Assigns harmonious design-system color badges to differentiate each target term clearly.
- Keyword Density Analytics: Calculates individual term counts, frequency percentages, and overall document density metrics.
- HTML Markup Export: Export the fully highlighted HTML snippet with styled <mark> tags ready for external rich text editors.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the tool handle overlapping keywords (e.g., 'data' vs. 'data privacy')?
- The engine automatically sorts target keywords by length descending before executing regex matching. This ensures that longer multi-word phrases match first without being broken up by shorter single-word submatches.
- Can I copy the highlighted text into my own document?
- Yes. Click 'Copy HTML' in the preview toolbar to copy the styled <mark> markup, which can be pasted directly into web applications, CMS editors, or rich text documents.
- Is there a limit on how many keywords I can highlight at once?
- There is no hard limit. The tool dynamically cycles through color themes and calculates frequency telemetry for all target keywords in real time.
- Are my keywords or manuscripts logged or shared?
- No. Highlighting and frequency calculations occur entirely in your local browser memory.
