Frequently Asked Questions
How can I adjust the size of a specific word?
Word size is calculated from its frequency or weight. Find the word in the list, increase or decrease its Frequency value, and select Visualize again.
How can I remove common words from imported text?
After importing text, remove unwanted words from the word list or set their frequency to zero. Language-specific processing also filters many common stop words automatically.
How can I create a higher-resolution image?
Set a larger canvas before generating. For high-quality printing, use at least 1200 by 800 pixels, or export SVG for a scalable vector result.
Can I export a word cloud as SVG for print?
Yes. SVG is vector-based and can scale to large print sizes without losing quality. Open Download and select SVG.
Which export formats are available?
PNG and JPEG work well for digital sharing, SVG is suited to scalable print, and MP4 or GIF can be used for animated word clouds.
Do I need an account?
You can start creating without an account. An account may be required for saving projects or using some paid capabilities.
