You can create a word cloud from a CSV file in Python using the wordcloud library. This program offers a straightforward and user-friendly interface for creating word clouds from text data. The procedure normally starts with loading the data from the CSV file, followed by text pre-processing (such as deleting stop words and stemming) and word cloud generation using wordcloud.WordCloud class.
Word clouds are a popular tool for visualizing the most common words in a large corpus of text data.
They can be used in various applications, such as:
- Text mining: Word clouds can be used to find important themes and trends in massive text data sets, including customer reviews and social media posts.
- Content marketing: We can use the wordcloud to help guide content planning and SEO efforts to determine the most popular subjects and keywords in a website's content.
- Data visualization: Word clouds can be employed to produce aesthetically pleasing and simple-to-understand representations of text data, making it simpler to convey findings to non-technical audiences.
- Sentiment analysis: Word clouds can also be used to analyze the sentiments of a given dataset; in the word cloud, positive or negative words will be more prevalent.
Here is how you can create a word cloud from csv in Python:

Code
In this solution we use the generate function of the WordCloud library.
- Copy the code using the "Copy" button above, and paste it in a Python file in your IDE.
- Create a csv file with one column containing words.
- Modify the reading mode in the code from 'rb' to 'r'
- Modify the name, location of the csv to be read in the code.
- Run the file to create a WordCloud.
