Question 1

How is a word's size decided?

Accepted Answer

By how many times it appears in the video's transcript — the more often it's said, the larger it renders. Common function words ("the", "and", "you") and caption filler ("um", "like") are filtered out first, so they never crowd out the words that actually matter.

Question 2

Does this work if the video has no official captions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as YouTube has generated automatic captions for it, which covers the large majority of videos.

Question 3

What if a video's words are too repetitive or too short?

Accepted Answer

A video needs a handful of distinct words said more than once each to build a cloud from — extremely short or repetitive videos may not have enough, in which case the tool says so rather than returning an empty image.

Question 4

Can I download the image?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Capture PNG saves exactly the view on screen, at the angle, zoom, and shape you set, ready to drop into a slide deck, a thumbnail, or a social post. Copy and Share (on supported browsers) sit right next to it.

Question 5

Can I change the shape or rotate the cloud?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Drag the cloud to rotate it, scroll or pinch to zoom, and pick a sphere, cylinder, ring, cube, or flat layout. Words morph into the new shape, and words on the far side fade so the 3D shape stays readable.

Question 6

Is there a limit on how many word clouds I can make?

Accepted Answer

4 free word clouds a day per visitor, with a short cooldown between requests. Counters reset at midnight UTC.

	Built from what's actually said	Every word's size comes straight from how often it appears in the video's own captions — nothing hand-picked.
	Filler words filtered out	Common function words and caption filler ("um", "like", "the") are dropped automatically, so what's left is the video's real vocabulary.
	Interactive 3D cloud	Drag to spin it, zoom in, and switch between a sphere, cylinder, ring, cube, or a classic flat cloud.
	Capture exactly what you see	Save the current view as a high-resolution PNG, copy it to your clipboard, or share it from your phone.
	No sign-up, no design tool	No account and no layout to build by hand — paste a link and the cloud is ready to play with.
	Free, with a light touch	Rate-limited, not paywalled, and the only branding is a small upsolo.me credit in the corner of the image.
