How to make a word cloud

  1. Paste your text into the box, type it, or upload a .txt or .csv file. Survey answers, meeting notes and a whole article all work.
  2. Pick a look. Choose a colour theme, a font and a shape, then press Shuffle until the layout feels right. The biggest words are the ones that come up most.
  3. Download it. Save a PNG for slides and documents, or an SVG for print and design tools.

Common words like "the" and "and" are left out, so the cloud shows what the text is about. Turn that off if you want every word. To keep phrases like "ice cream" together, switch to One per line. Each line becomes one item, and you can add a weight after a comma, as in "ice cream, 5".

Ideas for your word cloud

  • Icebreakers. Ask a group for one word about their week, then show the cloud as the meeting opens.
  • Class check-ins. Collect how students feel about a topic before you teach it, and again after.
  • Event feedback. Paste the answers from a feedback form and see what people mention most.
  • Survey answers. Open-ended answers are hard to read in a spreadsheet. A cloud shows the themes in seconds.
  • Brainstorming. Drop in every idea from a session, one per line, and spot the ones the team came back to.
  • Summing up a text. Paste a speech, a report or a chapter to see its main words before you read it closely.

Make it live with your audience

This page is a word cloud maker for text you already have. RiLiFi also runs a live word cloud. You ask one question, people send words from their phones, and the cloud grows on the big screen as answers come in.

You choose how many words each person can send, from 1 to 10. A profanity filter is on by default, and you can hide any word while the session runs.

FAQ

Word cloud questions

Is this word cloud generator free?
Yes. Make as many word clouds as you like and download them in PNG or SVG. There are no ads and no paid version of this page.
Do I need an account?
No. The generator works without sign-up. You only need a free RiLiFi account if you want your audience to add words live from their phones.
Is my text stored?
No. Your text stays in your browser and is never sent to us. If you click Make it live, the page saves a copy in this browser only, so your cloud is still here when you come back.
Can I download my word cloud?
Yes. Download a PNG at normal or double size, with a light, dark or see-through background, or an SVG. For slides, use the PNG; SVG fonts need an internet connection. Each download has a small Made with RiLiFi mark in the corner.
Can my audience add words live?
Yes, with a free RiLiFi account. People join from their phones and send up to 10 words each, and the cloud updates on your screen as the words come in.
How many words can it handle?
Paste as much text as you like; a long report is fine. The cloud shows up to 300 words, and 100 by default. If a word does not fit, lower Max words or try another shape.
