Different Methods to create Word Clouds

Tagul is the best Word Cloud generator online with great features. Why it is best , we are going to see now. First to access it you need to register. After registering login. Next Click “Create new word cloud “.

» First Name your Cloud , Now move for Words menu ,there you can import the text file of words , or  enter the words manually . Adjust the size of the words which you want to highlight(appear big) , and select other option as you like .

Also before looking at Tagul , there are two amazing Word cloud generators they are Wordle and Tagxedo. They are I can say , much featured than Tagul , but the problem with them is they need extra plugins , for running in chrome and firefox. And those plugins are not allowed by chrome so you cannot use them. By installing Silverlight , you can use Tagxedo in Internet explorer and Firefox. If you want to try you can. After these two Tagul is the best.
