Alex Key Master	@wookeywarn, when I said that we would consider how to limit the quality of 1MP PNG I meant only free accounts not paid ones. So I think there is nothing to worry about for paying users.

Alex Key Master	@DANSTE05, if you sell 1MP PNG images you will violate the Terms of Service and your account will be blocked. We will consider how to limit the quality of 1MP PNG free image.

Alex Key Master	There are several significant cons against placing watermarks and lowing the quality of free images (which is 1MP currently): 1) Easy to overcome by just making a screenshot of a word cloud in the generator. Screenshots won't have watermarks and can be ~1MP if you zoom the web page. 2) Only 1-2% of free users sells something. But other 98-99% will be also affected by the change. Also sooner or later those who sells Taguls 1MP PNG images we face with a client who wants HQ image (to be printed on a big poster for example) and they will have to buy at least the Basic pricing plan which means that their cost per HQ image will be at least $1. Therefore they can't sell HQ images (or products with HQ images) for low margin. I suggest you to advertise that you sell High Quality word cloud art (both in terms of art and the quality of the images) and thus you ask extra $0.20 - $0.5. Those who uses 1MP PNG images for free obviously can't advertise the same or will charge more. Edited 14 Jan, 2016 13:19

Alex Key Master	Please try to download your word cloud in PNG format and then print it as any other image or picture. If you don't experience such problems when printing your pictures then you shouldn't face them with Tagul word cloud images.

Alex Key Master	If your wordpress site is hosted on wordpress.com then Tagul embedding code won't work as AFAIK wordpress.com doesn't allow third party javascript in your html. If it doesn't then could you please send the url of the page where you embedded the cloud so I could see what is wrong there?

Alex Key Master	Midela, so if you want to revise a design, or download several formats/sizes, each download gets counted. New HQ download gets counted if you revise a design but downloads of the very same image in different formats don't get counted Edited 11 Jan, 2016 07:16

Alex Key Master	Ok, here is the final revision of the pricing: Monthly: Basic - 10 HQ downloads for $9.99 Pro - 100 HQ downloads for $19.99 Unlimited - $29.99 Yearly: Basic - 120 HQ downloads for $99.99 Pro - 1200 HQ downloads for $199.99 Unlimited - $299.99 That's really all we can do. Hope now it is affordable. Edited 11 Jan, 2016 08:11

Alex Key Master	I think we've just found the root cause and fixed it. The error was shown in error, i.e. had no impact. Could you please try again and confirm whether it is work or not?

Alex Key Master	Just keep Random in Font column in Words section and select several fonts in Fonts section. To achieve that click CTRL+click on the fonts.

Alex Key Master	Steph, I cannot send a 1mp PNG to a client which has a list of things I 'will' change later such as a list of words that appear in stupid places that I will remove. Still don't get it. Both 1MP PNG and SVG have a list of things you will change later. What happens if you send your client 1MP PNG instead of SVG? This may seem acceptable but it really isn't - people expect a higher quality of service than that! 1MP PNG is quite a good quality. Some things such as fridge magnets and single coasters sell for a few pounds each because frankly you cannot charge more than that 1MP PNG is more than enough for fridge magnets and single coasters. But you still need to download HQ images for all images you sell. I mean you can experiment with 1MP PNG for free but download HQ image for sale. Are you suggesting I do all of that manually in inkscape from now on to avoid more than one download - or are you saying inkscape does it all for me and I've missed it? No. You can remove the words in Inkscape but not add or change. Tagul could do some of the things upfront that require us to repeat download in the first place I appreciate if you list the things we can do and we will see what can be done.
