How it works
The tool splits the text into words and counts how often each appears, treating “Learning” and “learning” as the same word. Words are placed largest first on a spiral that starts in the middle of the canvas. A word is put at the first spot where its box does not touch another word. Text widths are estimated, so spacing is approximate and some words may sit closer or farther apart than in a design program.
Worked example
In the sample text, “learning” and “curiosity” appear most often, so they are drawn largest, with “journey”, “progress” and “patience” smaller and the single-use words smallest.
Tips
Remove names, greetings and other words you do not want to emphasise before pasting. Raise the minimum length to hide short words, and use fewer words for a cleaner picture. For exact counts, use the word frequency tool alongside.
Frequently asked questions
How are the words sized?
Each word is counted, ignoring capital letters, and the size follows a square-root scale between the smallest and the largest count, from 14 to 72 units. The most frequent word is drawn largest and placed in the centre.
Why are some words missing?
The cloud shows at most the number of words you choose, and drops words shorter than your minimum length. With the common-word option on, English filler words such as "the" and "and" are skipped. A word is also left out if no free space for it is found on the canvas.
Can I use the picture in a presentation or post?
Yes. The download is a 1600 by 1000 pixel PNG. Choose a transparent background to place it over a coloured slide, or white for documents.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The words are counted and drawn in your browser, and nothing leaves the page.
