A word cloud shows the words in a text with size based on how often they appear, so the main ideas stand out at a glance. Paste text, adjust the settings, and download the picture as a PNG.

How to make a word cloud
- Paste your text: an essay, a speech, survey answers or a chapter.
- Choose how many words to show, the colors, the shape and the font. Keep “Remove common words” on so small words like “the” and “and” do not crowd out the important ones.
- Press Make word cloud, try New layout for a different arrangement, and Download PNG to save it.
How word size is decided
The tool counts how many times each word appears, keeps the most frequent ones, and scales each word’s font size by its count: the most common word is largest. Placement starts in the middle and spirals outward until each word finds a free spot, so the biggest words sit in the center.
Ideas for the classroom
- Paste a chapter or unit vocabulary to preview the key ideas before a lesson.
- Collect one-word answers to “What is math?” and compare the clouds from the start and end of the year.
- Compare two speeches or stories by making a cloud of each.
A word cloud shows how often words appear, not what they mean, so it is a starting point for discussion rather than a full analysis.
Word frequency practice questions

Frequently asked questions
How does a word cloud generator work?
It counts each word in your text, removes very common words if you choose, and draws the words with font sizes based on their counts.
Can I download my word cloud?
Yes. Press Download PNG to save a 1200 × 720 pixel image you can use in slides, posters or worksheets.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Everything is counted and drawn in your browser.
Why do some words not appear?
Only the most frequent words up to your chosen limit are shown, and common words such as “the” are removed when that box is ticked.
