Words in a Shape

Arrange the words inside a shape to match your topic or style.

Words will be placed to fit inside that shape. It can be anything: a heart, star, circle, book, or even a custom silhouette. This is a great way make fun themed posters, gifts, or presentation slides.

Customize the shape's fill and outline colors independently — or keep them transparent so the word cloud shape is only visible through how the words are arranged.

Want the words to flow freely again? Select No Shape to reset the layout and let the words form a natural cloud.
