Questions people ask

How do I make a light bulb word cloud?

Paste your text or a list of words into the generator on this page — the light bulb shape is already selected. Adjust the words, palette and font, then download a PNG or SVG. It is free and needs no account.

How many words fit in a light bulb word cloud?

Between 30 and 100 words usually looks best. With fewer words, switch on collage fill so words repeat until the shape is solid; with more, choose a larger canvas or “Gentle” size contrast.

Can I control which word is biggest?

Yes. Click “Edit as word list” and give each word a number (“word, 20”). Bigger numbers mean bigger words; the top word is placed first, near the centre of the shape.

Can I print it or put it on a gift?

Download the SVG for print shops, T-shirts, mugs or laser cutters — it stays sharp at any size. The PNG is exported at double resolution for slides and home printing.
