Transform your text into beautiful word clouds

What is a word cloud?
A word cloud is an attractive image made of words that together resemble a cloudy shape.
The most frequent or important terms often appear larger than the rest.
It’s an instant way to see the “big picture” of any text.
How are word clouds used?
People typically use word clouds to:
- easily produce a summary of large documents (reports, speeches, questionnaires)

The complaint that some people have about Wordle is that it doesn't offer much in the way of customization options. That's where WordItOut shines.
— Free Technology for Teachers
Very nice website... easy to use to obtain word clouds... for which purpose? ..well..for me it’s just for fun! On the other hand, it can be used to highlight the important terms of a text of whatever kind: the most used words can be an indication of the meaning of the text itself...

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use WordItOut for commercial projects?
Word clouds have a non-commercial licence. For-profit use is allowed if you ask for permission, currently at no cost due to low demand. Many users use WordItOut for professional reports, marketing materials, and internal presentations.
Do I need to create an account?
No, you can start creating immediately. You only need an email address if you wish to save your cloud to make changes later.
Is there a limit to how much text I can give in the beginning?
There is no hard limit. You can paste as much text as you like, though extremely large documents may take a few extra seconds to process depending on your device’s speed.
What changes can I make after saving my word cloud?
Once a word cloud is saved, its design and content are fixed. You can change its privacy settings (making it public or private) or delete it entirely, but to change the words or colours, you would need to generate and save a new version.
Does WordItOut use AI to create word clouds?
No, word clouds are generated with a transparently coded algorithm. This ensures your results are a factual representation of your text without the “hallucinations” or privacy concerns often associated with AI.
However, AI is an excellent tool to help you generate the initial source text which you can then copy and paste here to create your word cloud.
