About WordCloud+

We needed a word cloud generator that is easy to use and powerful.
So we built one.

In 2022 we set out to build the next generation of WordCloud+. The goal was simple: make word clouds effortless, add stronger analytics, and always offer a free version. Today WordCloud+ helps teams turn text into clear, shareable insight.

Our mission

Make text analysis visual.

We believe great insights should be easy to communicate. WordCloud+ blends rigorous analysis with a design-first editor so every cloud is clear, accurate, and ready to share.

Powerful analytics

Highlight important phrases with smarter scoring instead of raw frequency.

Fast to customize

Choose fonts, colors, and layouts that match your audience and brand.

Private by default

Your text stays on your machine so sensitive content never leaves your device.
