Stop words are extremely common function words like 'the', 'a', 'is', 'in', 'of', and 'and' that carry little meaning on their own. Removing them ensures the cloud highlights the most significant content words in your text.

How does the spiral placement algorithm work?

Each word is placed starting from the canvas centre and spirals outward until a position is found that does not overlap with already-placed words. Larger (more frequent) words are placed first.

Why are some words missing?

Words shorter than three characters are excluded by default to improve readability. Increase the max-words slider or reduce the minimum frequency if you want more words to appear.

What image format is downloaded?

The cloud is downloaded as a PNG file at the canvas resolution. For best quality use a modern display; the canvas is rendered at device pixel ratio for sharp output on HiDPI screens.

About this tool

Transform any body of text into a visual word cloud rendered on an HTML5 canvas. Common stop words are automatically filtered so only meaningful content words appear. Words are sized proportionally to their frequency and arranged in a spiral layout that avoids overlaps. Choose from random, gradient, single-color, or category-based color schemes, control the maximum number of words (10–100), and download the result as a PNG. Click any word to see its exact occurrence count.

How to use

1 Paste or type your text into the input area and click 'Generate'.
2 Adjust the 'Max Words' slider to control how many words appear in the cloud.
3 Choose a color scheme: Random, Gradient, Single Color, or Category.
4 Click any word in the cloud to see its frequency count, then click 'Download PNG' to save the image.
