wordcloud2.js is a JavaScript library that renders tag cloud / Wordle-style word clouds on an HTML5 2D canvas or as HTML elements. It supports options like image masks, custom fonts, and high pixel density displays.

Use cases

• generate a word cloud from a list of words and weights
• render a tag cloud on a canvas in the browser
• create a Wordle-style visualization of text frequency
• draw a word cloud shaped by a mask image
• visualize keyword frequency on a website

When to choose

• you need a client-side word cloud rendered on canvas or HTML
• you want a lightweight, dependency-free library with a simple API
• you need features like image masks, custom web fonts, or high-DPI support

When to avoid

• you need server-side or headless rendering outside the browser
• you need interactive D3-style visualizations rather than static word clouds
• you need automatic text analysis or tokenization - the library only renders provided word/weight lists
