Word cloud maker

Paste a text, survey answers or a list like "teamwork: 12" and get a word cloud where no word covers another. Choose how many words, how much the most repeated ones stand out, the colours and the font, then download it as PNG or SVG.

How to use it

  1. Paste your text, or switch to "Words with weights" and type one word per line with its number.
  2. Keep "Leave out common words" on for normal text and add any other word you do not want in the field below it.
  3. Set the number of words and how much repeated words stand out. Pick the colours, the font and the image size.
  4. Press "New layout" until you like the arrangement, then download the PNG or the SVG.

Examples

  • Team retrospective

    Paste the answers to "What went well?" from your form. The most repeated ideas come out biggest; use "Limit repetition" if one word takes over.

  • Class brainstorm

    Students say one word each; type them as a list with how many times each came up, choose "Bright" colours and project the PNG.

  • Event feedback

    Paste the comments of a survey, leave out the name of the event in "Also leave out" and share the square image.

Questions

Is it free and private?

Yes. The words are counted and drawn in your browser. Nothing you paste is uploaded or saved, and there is no sign-up.

Why do some words not appear?

The cloud keeps the heaviest words up to the number you choose and leaves out common words like "the" or "and". If a word still does not fit at a readable size, the page tells you how many were left out.

Can words overlap?

No. Each word gets its own box and is only placed where it touches no other box. If the space runs out, the whole cloud is scaled down evenly instead.

Does it work with Chinese, Japanese, Arabic or Hebrew?

Yes. Modern browsers split Chinese, Japanese and Thai text into words, and Arabic and Hebrew are drawn with the right letter shapes. Common word lists exist for English, Portuguese and Spanish; for other languages use "Also leave out".

PNG or SVG?

PNG is an image for slides, posts and messages and looks exactly like the preview. SVG stays sharp at any size and opens in design programs; it uses system fonts, so on another computer the letters can look slightly different.

Can the audience send words live?

Not here: live voting needs a server. Collect answers with your usual form or chat, then paste them in.
