WordArt.com
WordArt.com is one of the most popular online sites for creating word clouds and allows you to print your word art pictures onto posters, mugs, T-shirts, etc.
WordArt.com enables you to create word art in the shape of numbers, animals, festive decorations, and other funky figures. You can paste text, upload a file, or enter a URL to input the words you’d like to use.
It can be a little wonky to navigate through the interface, but WordArt.com offers more options than the average word cloud tool, and you can print your word art right from the page (although you have to pay for hi-def downloads).
Wordclouds.com
Wordclouds.com allows you to paste text or upload a document. One of their most significant advantages is that you can even upload a PDF. Their _‘Wizard’_ button is helpful to make cloud art with ease, as it walks you through the process from start to finish.
Use it to create colorful word art on your computer, tablet, even your smartphone. They offer basic clipart-style shapes, and you can alter the gap size between words to get your cloud looking just like you want.
Tagxedo
Tagxedo provides some of the most impressive text integrations – you can look up Twitter handles, RSS feeds, news articles, or search the web for the subject of your choice. It does, however, require Silverlight to run, so you can’t use it with Google Chrome, and it’s still a bit sluggish and rickety in other browsers.
ABCya!
ABCya! creates simple word clouds and offers dozens of fun learning games for kids. Plus, it’s really easy to navigate your way through ABCya! Simply type or paste text, then hit "Create".
You can randomize the cloud and watch your word art morph into a whole new shape. Kids love it because it’s colorful and gets their creativity flowing. It’s an excellent tool for teaching kids about the relationships of essential words to the text as a whole.

After clicking 'Generate Cloud', your word art will appear in just a few seconds.
The above word art visualizes a set of reviews about the business messaging app, Slack. Notice how MonkeyLearn’s word cloud tool keeps phrases together and how the size of each word or phrase correlates to the frequency with which each appears in the text.
Above demonstrates the default font, size, color, theme, display, and word quantity (50 words), all of which you can change in the toolbar.
3. Customize your word art
The MonkeyLearn cloud generator allows you to edit your text right in the browser window.
Click ‘Edit Text’ in the upper left to return to the text box and add or remove words.
In the top toolbar, you can change fonts and colors, the size of the words, color schemes, choose a theme, or refresh the page to change the word grouping.
There are dozens of options.
Slide the ‘Words Quantity’ bar in the upper right to change the total number of words that appear in your word visualization.
For more in-depth text analysis, take a look at the column on the right. You can see the number of times each word appears in your text and the relevance of each word to the text as a whole. And you can switch to list in order of frequency or relevance.
At the bottom right, you can do more than word analysis by using other MonkeyLearn text analysis tools: sentiment analysis (to sort words and phrases in your text as positive, negative, or neutral), keyword extraction, and entity extraction.
4. Download your word art
Click ‘Download’ in the upper right to download your word art as a super hi-res SVG or PNG image – perfect for printing or displaying in reports and on huge screens. You can also download a CSV file for a list of the most used words in order of relevance or number of appearances.
