In this article, we will show you how to set up a word cloud with Google Forms in just a few clicks. Simply follow the steps below.
Google Forms currently does not have a built-in feature to create a word cloud directly within the application. However, you can achieve this by using a workaround that involves collecting responses through Google Forms and then using another tool to create the word cloud. Here's how to do it:
Navigate to Google Forms and click on the blank form or choose a template. Add questions that are relevant for your word cloud. Depending on your needs, it may be best to focus on open-ended text-based questions.
Click the "Send" button at the top right to share your form to your intended audience via email, link, or social media. It's important to gather enough responses to make a meaningful word cloud.
In the "Responses" tab at the top of your form, click on the Google Sheets icon to create a new spreadsheet for your responses. This will automatically link and save all responses to a new Google Sheet.
Open the linked Google Sheet. Identify and copy the text responses that you want to use in your word.
Go to an online word cloud generator like WordClouds.com or WordArt.com. These tools will allow you to paste your copied data and create visual representations of the text.
In the word cloud generator, paste the text data from your Google Sheet. Then, customize the appearance of your word cloud by adjusting settings like colors, shapes, and fonts.
Once you're satisfied with the customization, generate the word cloud. Most word cloud tools will allow you to download the finished word cloud in various formats such as PNG or JPG.
