Word cloud help and guides
Get help with word lists, CSV imports, phrases, word sizes and downloads. Follow clear steps to make, save and print your word cloud.
Getting started
- Import a CSV word list with weights
Bring a word list from a spreadsheet, choose how to handle duplicates, and fix any import errors before arranging the words.
- Save and reopen a word cloud project
Keep an editable copy of your word cloud, reopen it with its saved layout, and know what to do if a file cannot be loaded.
Words and weights
- How word cloud weights affect word size
A count tells you how often a word appears. A weight tells WordShapeLab how large to make it. Here's how the two work together.
- Keep phrases together in a word cloud
Small words can change a whole message. Learn when to count individual words, when to keep phrases together and what to remove.
Layout and export
- Why some words do not fit in your word cloud
A word may be too wide, too small or short of space. The placement report tells you which setting is worth changing.
- Download and print your word cloud
Pick the right file for your next step, from a slide image to a framed print. Keep the project too if you want to edit it later.
More about text and privacy
- Accents and supported languages in word clouds
Keep names and accented words spelled correctly. Check how text is handled and what the available fonts can display before you print.
- Where your words and projects are stored
Your words are processed in your browser. Here's what that means for saved projects, downloaded files and shared devices.
