What is a free word cloud?

A free word cloud is a visual representation of text data, representing the most frequently used words in a given text. The larger the word in the cloud, the more frequently it appears in the text. They are often used in presentations, reports, and academic papers to make complex data more accessible to audiences.

Online word clouds are readily available on the internet, and can be used by anyone who has access to a device like computer or a phone which is connected to the internet. Most free word cloud tools have limited features, but they still offer many of the basic functions needed to create a free word cloud.
