You don't even need to create a rectangle in an image editor. Just choose the square shape, click on the gear icon at the bottom right corner and in the popup window set ratio to 0.7 (A4 aspect ratio). Then click OK and visualize your cloud.

You can add more words in Words table but you need to visualize your word cloud again after adding words to make them appear.

You can't do it in Tagul. The only option I see is to export your word cloud in SVG / EPS format, then open it in Inkscape and add your words.

Hi Macy, I've just added that functionality. Now you can make a word taller or wider by using the control points placed on the middle of the word bounding box edges.

In Edit Mode you can move or resize only 50 biggest words. It is done for the performance sake as otherwise the Edit Mode would be too slow.

Why would you need to move the small words?
When you moved big words you can visualize your cloud and small words will be moved automatically.

@xpreciousp,

I could no longer add words
Could you please elaborate where exactly you couldn't add words.
Was it Words section or you couldn't add words in Layout section (e.g. couldn't make more duplicates)?

Hi Teresa,

Basically words are placed on non-white space of your word cloud's shape image.
Thus to place the words outside your shape you either need to make such an image where the outer space is filled with colours and the inner space is not. Or you can try enabling the "negative" checkbox when you import your image in Shapes section.

Hi Ncolwell! It was caused by the empty word on the last line in the words list. But anyway the issue is fixed now so your cloud should be visualized without any problems.

It seems like your browser is set up to automatically open a viewer software when you try to download an image in the internet. I suggest you to try to save the image from the viewer software or try another browser like Chrome or Firefox.
