FAQ
Word cloud FAQ
Is this a free word cloud generator?
Yes. You can create, customize, and download word clouds free. Optional Starter and Pro plans add saving, embedding, and file uploads.
How do I use the word cloud generator?
Paste text, click Generate, then adjust max words, fonts, colors, rotation, spiral type, padding, and background. Download PNG/SVG or share a link when ready.
What does the AI optimize in my cloud?
AI removes common stop words, counts frequencies, scales font sizes between your min/max, orders by importance, and suggests readable color contrast. It respects all your layout settings.
Can I set maximum words, rotation, and layout?
Yes. Control max words, choose no rotation, fixed, or random angles, and pick Archimedean or Rectangular spirals. Adjust padding to prevent overlaps.
Does the word cloud generator free version support export?
Yes. You can download PNG or SVG and share a link for quick collaboration. Embeds and file uploads are available on paid plans.
How are stop words handled?
Common words like “the” and “and” are filtered automatically so meaningful terms dominate. You can then fine-tune with max words and sizing.
Can I brand the colors and fonts?
Yes. Choose from random, gradient, monochrome, or categorical palettes and select a font family such as Arial, Times, Courier, Georgia, or Helvetica.
Will it work with non-English text?
Yes. It supports many languages. For best results, paste plain text so frequency analysis can size words accurately.
Can I animate my word cloud?
Enable animation and set delay and duration for smooth builds. Turn it off for static exports or when motion sensitivity is a concern.
