What file does it export?

The download is a 1400 × 860 PNG image. Enable Transparent background to use the lettering as an image layer in a design or video editor. This tool does not export SVG, editable text or an installable font file.

How much text can I use?

The input accepts up to 80 characters. Longer phrases are scaled to fit the canvas, which can make the letters smaller. Keep labels short, adjust spacing and check the preview before exporting.

Does the preview use the font I select?

Yes. The preview and download use the loaded typeface. The font library focuses on Latin lettering, and unsupported characters may use a fallback. If a font fails to load, retry before downloading.
