This is because your image contains the outline only. You need to fill the inner space inside the outline with any color (probably except white) you want. You can do it in any image editor like MS Paint or Photoshop.

You just need a 2 colors picture (like minion) and import it by clicking on the first row in Shapes section.

Yes they will. But please instruct them to create their own clouds and don't use existing ones to avoid several students to work on the same cloud.

Hello Angie, it is possible. To achieve this you need to create an image with black word 'Family' on white background in any image editing software (like MS Paint or Photoshop) and then import it to your cloud shapes (by clicking on the first row in Shapes section).

Jane you have to use "~" instead of "-" to tell Tagul to keep the words together. Anyway I would suggest you to use CSV format instead:

Trinity;3
Gunderson;3
Union Tank Car;3
National Steel Car;3
Ari;3
Freight Car America;2
TTX;2
Electro Motive;2
General Electric;2
CSX;2
Norfolk Southern;1
BNSF;1
GATX;1
Union Pacific;1
AMSTED;1

Or input the words directly into Words table

Hello Ann, Tagul doesn't allow you to export word cloud images in PDF format thus could you please elaborate what you mean under "a PDF won't open"?

and the same if I save on the desktop etc as when I try to open the file nothing happens

What format did you download to your desktop: PNG, SVG or EPS?

Hello Anni, when you adding your image please make sure you moved threshold slider somewhere in the middle to remove white colors from the image. Otherwise (if you keep threshold close to 1) white color is preserved and words are placed there.

Hello Paige,

Tagul doesn't have email verification any more.
It means that your students can register their accounts under dummy emails.
The only drawback here is that they won't be able to reset passwords as they don't have emails.

Hi Natalie,

could you please send to support email:

1) The screenshot where you see blank custom shape
2) The image you try to use

Then I'll look into the problem.

Hello Stephen, it can't be done automatically but you can add words frequency manually in Words table.
