What is a Word Cloud?
A word cloud (also known as a tag cloud or word art) is a visual representation of text data where the size of each word indicates its frequency or importance. Words that appear more frequently in the source text are displayed larger and more prominently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are some words missing from my word cloud?

Solutions:
- Disable stop word filtering by deselecting all languages in the Advanced Settings
- Check the Word Frequency table to see all detected words, including filtered ones
- Adjust the Max Words setting to include more terms
Can I use my word cloud commercially?
Yes, absolutely! The word clouds you create are yours to use for any purpose, including:
