Word Cloud Generator

Generate a word frequency cloud from any text. Visualize the most common words.

About this calculator

Paste any text and see the most common words as a word cloud, larger words appearing more often. Common stop words are skipped.

A quick way to see the themes in an article, speech or survey answers.

How to use it

  1. Paste your text.
  2. Press Generate Word Cloud.
  3. Look for the largest words.

How it works

The text is split into words, lower-cased, stripped of punctuation and common stop words (the, and, of…), then counted. Each word's size is scaled by its frequency. Frequency shows emphasis, not meaning: a word cloud can't see sentiment or context.

Tips and common mistakes
