[UPDATE: below info is out of date because Tagul generator form has been changed]
I am often asked on how to create a cloud with custom shape.
Here is the tutorial on how to do it:
1) Find an image with a shape you want to use and save it to your computer. It can be either colored or black & white. Words will be placed on non-white space. Here is an example of Giraffe image which I used in Gallery.
2) In your cloud form go to Appearance section and choose "Custom shape" as it is shown on the screenshot below:
3) Then click on the box (that says: "Click here" :)) and select your image file.
In the appeared window use Threshold and Blur sliders to adjust the selected image. REMEMBER: the words will be placed on non-white space.
4) Then click OK and Visualize your cloud.
Enjoy creating word clouds with Tagul.com!

HELP! I am trying to follow your steps but keep getting an error message once I try to select an image on my computer. I want to use the giraffe one just like the one in the gallery. Does my image need to be in a certain format? I’ve tried PDF and eps.
TIA
Your image should be in PNG or JPEG format. Not PDF or EPS.

piyu1803, all you have to do is click "clear all text" and then type your own words in the boxes.
Hello everyone. I'm trying to use a custom shape for my word cloud, but whenever I click the rectangle that says click here to choose your custom shape image, this pops up: "2041 - Error - Error #2041".

I don't know how to save my cloud I tried going to grab and share but that doesn't allow me to save Help x
Could you please have a look into Downloads folder in your computer?
If you clouds are not there could you please try another browser like Chrome or Firefox?
How do I save as a 4x6, would like to print as a picture so save money.
I have created a hand print with the names of my students inside. I want to print it smaller than 8.5x11 - but the image goes off the page. How can I shrink the image?
Hi is it possible to put the words onto the shapes myself? or do I have to have them where they have been generated?
