Saving Wordle Word Clouds

If anyone wants to know how I saved my word cloud from Wordle, here’s how I did it (you might find a better way): Choose the Print option and through that menu save it as a PDF, then open the PDF and save it as a JPEG. You can probably take a screenshot of the word cloud, too – I just wanted the best resolution possible so that it could be blown up onscreen for the activity.

This might be completely superfluous, but I just wanted to share in case anyone was initially flummoxed – please feel free to comment if you have a better way!

*UPDATE (in response to Paul’s comment):

Paul, I did use my work computer initially, which is a Microsoft one. However, when I went to Wordle.net just now, I was able to download the Java plug-in, restart Firefox, generate a wordcloud, and when I clicked “Print,” (a few times, because I had to keep “Allow”-ing the applet to connect with my printer [which isn't actually even hooked up to my laptop currently]), I was able to get a Print dialogue screen to appear:

So I could manually choose “Save as PDF”, which then led to this screen, where I was able to save my word cloud into PDF format:

I don’t know if it’s because I used Firefox or my OS is different (I’m running 10.7.5), but after downloading Java, I was able to obtain a PDF. However, now I need to double-check my print queue (for my non-existent printer), because this has happened before. Good luck! :/

  1. Charity, thanks for posting this information. Did you do this on Windows or Mac? I’m not able to print from the Java applet on Mac OS X 10.6.8. From what I was able to find out by Googling, printing from Java applets has been disabled on Macs for security reasons. If you had a different experience, I’d be interested in hearing what the trick is.

  3. Thanks, Charity! This was essential! I, like Paul, had the same problem with printing it, however. The screenshot method seems to be the only way to get it to work with a Mac–such a pity. As it was it took me a few frustrated minutes to realize that Wordle wouldn’t work with Chrome. Sigh.
