Want a word cloud in a shape? This free generator fills 13 built-in shapes with your words — or uses your own photo, or even the letters of a word, as the outline. Pick a shape below, add your words, and download your design as PNG or SVG.
Every shape, one click away
Each link opens the generator with that shape pre-loaded — swap in your own words once it opens:
❤️ Heart · ⭐ Star · ☁️ Cloud · ⏺ Circle · 💬 Speech bubble · ⚡ Lightning bolt · 💎 Diamond · 🐱 Cat · 🌸 Flower · 🍎 Apple · 🌲 Tree · ➡️ Arrow · 🎨 Free-flow
Use a word as the shape
Type any short word or initials in the Shape tab and the letters themselves become the outline — try LOVE or 2026. Perfect for names, years, and monograms.
Use your own photo as the shape
Upload any picture with a clear silhouette — a pet photo, a logo, a state outline — and the generator traces it and fills it with your words. No account, and the photo never leaves your browser.
Choosing the right shape
Match the shape to the occasion: hearts for love and thanks, stars for achievements and team spirit, a tree for the holidays, an apple for teachers, a paw-friendly cat for pet lovers. Denser word lists suit chunky shapes (heart, apple, circle); shapes with thin parts (bolt, arrow) look best with short words and the Repeat words to fill the shape option turned on.
