Frequently Asked Questions
What image formats can I export as?
You can export as PNG (lossless, best quality), JPG (adjustable quality, smaller file size), or WebP (modern format with excellent compression). PNG is recommended for text with transparency or sharp edges. JPG works well for photos or when file size matters. WebP offers the best of both worlds but has slightly less browser compatibility for older systems.
How do gradient backgrounds work?
Select 'Gradient' mode to create linear gradients with two colors. You can adjust the angle (0-360°) to control the direction. We provide 6 beautiful preset gradients (Purple Dream, Ocean Blue, Sunset, Forest, Cotton Candy, Fire) that you can apply with one click. Gradients make quote images and social media graphics much more eye-catching than solid backgrounds.
What are text shadow and outline effects?
Shadow adds a drop shadow behind your text (adjustable X/Y offset, blur, and color) to create depth and make text stand out against backgrounds. Outline adds a stroke around text characters (adjustable width and color), perfect for ensuring readability on colorful or photo backgrounds. You can enable both effects simultaneously for maximum impact.
Can I use custom fonts?
Yes! We provide 8 popular font families (Arial, Georgia, Courier, Verdana, Times, Trebuchet, Impact, Comic Sans) with 5 weight options (Light, Normal, Semi-Bold, Bold, Black). While we don't support uploading custom .ttf/.otf files, these system fonts work across all browsers and provide excellent variety for most use cases. Font weights allow you to create everything from elegant thin text to bold, attention-grabbing headlines.
What are dimension presets and when should I use them?
Dimension presets are pre-configured sizes optimized for social media platforms: Instagram Post (1080×1080), Instagram Story (1080×1920), Twitter Post (1200×675), YouTube Thumbnail (1280×720), Facebook Cover (820×312), and LinkedIn Banner (1584×396). Using the correct dimensions ensures your images display perfectly without cropping. If you need a custom size, switch to 'Custom' mode and enter your desired width/height.
How does batch mode work?
Enable Batch Mode and separate multiple texts using --- (three hyphens). The tool will generate separate images for each text block using your current styling settings. Click any download button (PNG/JPG/WebP), and each image will download sequentially with auto-generated filenames (image-1.png, image-2.png, etc.). This is perfect for creating multiple quote cards, social posts, or motivational posters in one go.
Can I add emojis to my text?
Absolutely! Modern browsers support rendering emojis directly onto the HTML5 canvas. Simply type or paste emojis into the text input (👍 😊 🔥 ✨), and they'll appear in your generated image. Emojis work great for social media posts, adding visual flair to quotes, or creating fun meme-style graphics.
Is my text data secure and private?
Yes, 100% secure! This tool runs entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API—no data is ever uploaded to any server. Your text, styling choices, and generated images never leave your computer. All processing happens client-side in JavaScript. This ensures complete privacy for sensitive content like confidential quotes, proprietary messages, or personal social media posts.
What's the difference between Auto, Preset, and Custom dimensions?
Auto automatically sizes the image to fit your text with the specified padding (perfect for variable-length quotes). Preset locks to specific platform dimensions (Instagram, Twitter, etc.), centering your text within the fixed canvas. Custom lets you enter exact width and height values for specialized use cases like website banners or print materials. Choose based on where you'll use the image.
How do letter spacing and line height controls work?
Letter Spacing adjusts the horizontal space between individual characters, allowing you to create airy, stretched-out text for modern designs or tightly-packed text for dramatic effect. Line Height controls vertical spacing between lines of multi-line text (multiplier of font size, default 1.2x). These advanced typography controls give you professional-level design flexibility without needing Photoshop or Illustrator.
