Remove Stop Words
Automatically remove common English stop words — the, a, an, is, are, and, but, or — to extract only the meaningful content words from your text.
What Does This Tool Do?
Stop words are extremely common words in a language that carry little meaningful information on their own — words like "the", "a", "is", "are", "and", "but", "in", "on". Search engines and text analysis tools often remove these to focus on the meaningful words. This tool does the same for your text.

How It Works
Each word in your text is checked against a list of over 100 common English stop words. Words that appear in the stop word list are removed. All other words are kept. Punctuation and capitalization are considered when matching.
