What Word Cloud Generator Does

This word cloud generator turns any text into a word cloud the moment you paste it: the more often a word appears, the larger it is drawn. Common filler words such as “the”, “and” and “of” are left out by default so the cloud shows what the text is actually about, and a frequency table below lists every word with its exact count.

You can choose how many words to include, the shortest word length, a color scheme and how many words run vertically, and shuffle the layout until it looks right. Download the result as a PNG image for slides and documents, or as an SVG vector file that stays sharp at any size and can be edited in design software. Everything is processed in your browser — the text is not uploaded.

How to Use Word Cloud Generator

  1. Paste or type your text
  2. Choose how many words to show and the shortest word length
  3. Pick a color scheme and how many words run vertically
  4. Press New layout until you like the arrangement
  5. Download the cloud as PNG or SVG

Formula Used by Word Cloud Generator

Word size

Font size = smallest + √((count − min) ÷ (max − min)) × (largest − smallest)

Worked example

Counts from 1 to 16; sizes from 12 to 76 px.

  1. A word used 16 times gets the largest size, 76 px
  2. A word used 5 times: √(4 ÷ 15) = 0.52
  3. 12 + 0.52 × 64

Result: About 45 px — the square root keeps mid-frequency words readable.

Good Uses for a Word Cloud

UseTip
Open-ended survey answersCombine all answers; read the frequency table for exact counts
Classroom brainstormingCollect one-word responses and paste them in
Speech or article summaryLeave common words out and cap the cloud at 50–80 words
Event or presentation slideUse a single color scheme and few vertical words for readability

How to Read Your Result

What a word cloud can and cannot tell you

A cloud shows frequency, nothing more. “Not good” splits into “not” and “good”, and sarcasm or context is lost. It is a quick way to spot recurring themes, but for decisions use the frequency table and read representative responses.

Cleaning your text

Merge variants that should count as one word before generating — for example “customer” and “customers”, or “U.S.” and “US”. Remove names or words that appear in every response, such as the product name, so that they do not crowd out everything else.

Limitations & Accuracy Notes

  • Words are counted as written; plurals and other word forms are not merged automatically.
  • Only single words are counted, not phrases.
  • When many words have similar counts, some of the least frequent may not fit and are left out; the page says how many.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a word cloud?
Paste your text — an article, survey answers, a speech or a list of words. The cloud builds instantly: the more often a word appears, the bigger it is drawn. Adjust the number of words, colors and vertical words, then download it as a PNG or SVG.
Why are words like “the” and “and” missing?
Common words are left out by default because they would dominate every cloud and say nothing about your text. Untick “Leave out common words” to include them.
How is the size of each word decided?
Each word is counted, and font size grows with the square root of its count, so the most frequent words stand out while less frequent ones stay readable. Hover over a word to see its count; the frequency table lists them all.
Can I make a word cloud from survey responses?
Yes — paste all the answers together. The cloud shows at a glance which words people used most, and the frequency table gives exact counts for your report. Remember that a cloud shows frequency, not meaning or sentiment.
PNG or SVG — which should I download?
PNG is an image that works everywhere: slides, documents, social posts. SVG is a vector file that stays sharp at any size and can be edited in design tools like Illustrator, Figma or Inkscape.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Counting and layout happen in your browser, and the downloads are created on your device.
