# Word Cloud chart in Figma

> Terms sized by frequency

A word cloud sizes each term by how often it appears. It is genuinely poor at conveying quantity — length is unreadable, position is meaningless, and long words look important — but it is very good at signalling "here is the vocabulary" on a slide.

## Available in 1 of 5 chart libraries

| Library | Ready-made examples |
| --- | --- |
| Highcharts | 2 |

2 examples in total.

These are the real charting libraries running inside the plugin, not redrawn lookalikes. The word cloud chart on your canvas is the library's own output, and the Export tab hands developers that same library's configuration plus React, Vue, Angular or Svelte code — so what you design is what gets built.

## Reach for it when

- A decorative or illustrative summary of a body of text.
- Signalling topic breadth where nobody needs to compare two terms.

## Use something else when

- Anyone will draw a conclusion from relative sizes — use a bar chart.
- The terms need to be ranked or filtered.

## The data it needs

One row per term with its weight or frequency.
