Boring I know, but wordclouds?

[theshoefairy]

I am trying to create a set of personalised wordclouds as a gift.

I have tried a number of websites for this and the best one I have come across so far is Tagul, as this lets me selct a name/word and centre it in the middle of the cloud, change the colour and size etc. Unfortunately, when saving from this site, the text when printed isn't crisp, you have to subscribe to download higher resolution. I have tried sharpening in Photoshop but this hasn't worked.

I then came across a software program called Wordaizer. It's okay but it doesn't work great and isn't that straightforward to use. It seems to do what it wants.

Is there another site that is as customisable as Tagul? I have also tried Tagxedo which is good but it doesn't allow you to customise individual words. Or even if it's possible to sharpen the image to print on a4.

ANy help would be great.

Many thanks

Never knew they were called "Word Clouds"
There you go, I learned something.

I had to make one of these manually in the shape of an English county with about 160 words, using all of them with no gaps.
Ended up being a real headache.

Might be worth subscribing to the generator if you want an easy life.

I've used Tagul before - https://tagul.com/ - it's cheap enough, and you can upload your own shapes - and customise it pretty much however you like.
