Make a word cloud from pasted text
Survey responses, meeting notes, a chapter draft — a frequency cloud makes the dominant themes visible at a glance, downloadable as a PNG.

The job
You have a body of text and want the shape of it — which words dominate, which barely appear — as a picture you can drop into a report or slide.
How to do it
Paste the text and generate. The tool counts word frequencies — using Intl.Segmenter, so Japanese and other scripts without spaces are segmented properly — then lays out the top words on a 1200×800 canvas, biggest first on a deterministic spiral.
- Word size scales with frequency; color varies for readability, not meaning.
- Up to 120 words are placed; words that cannot fit are listed under the canvas rather than silently dropped.
Worked example
Pasting 50 survey comments about a product produces a cloud where the product name and the two most-mentioned features dominate, and the skipped-words list shows the few that did not fit.
Limits
Input up to 200,000 characters. Placement is deterministic for the same input — handy for comparing runs — but it is a frequency visual, not sentiment analysis. Single-occurrence words need a minimum count to appear.
