What Is a Word Cloud?

Creating a word cloud involves grouping words displayed in various sizes. The larger and bolder a word is, the more frequently it is featured in your content. Moreover, such a design signifies the importance of certain words.

These clouds are known as tag clouds or text clouds. Moreover, they are great for extracting essential information from anything textual, whether a blog post or databases. They are also useful in comparing two text pieces for wording similarities. Our brains prefer visual information, and word clouds simplify digesting textual data.

Click the "Google Apps" button on Chrome and select "Slides."
Choose a particular presentation from your Google Slides tab.

Then, copy the word you want to appear on your word cloud and paste it into the text box under "Input your text here."
Select a shape and text size for your word cloud, then click the "Create a word cloud" button.
Wait until it generates word clouds and click "Save." Your Word Cloud image will be downloaded.
