Guides for Popular Looks
Make a Money or Jackpot Meme
- Under “Choose a style,” pick Money Rain.
- Type a dollar amount on the first line and a word on the second, such as $1,000,000 and JACKPOT!. A dollar amount moves to the first line automatically, even without a line break.
- Raise “Sparkles” for extra glints, then click Download PNG.
Make 3D Gold Text
- Choose Victory Gold, Jackpot Gold or Fire Burst for gold letters.
- Raise “Outline” for thicker depth and outlines, or lower it for a cleaner look.
- Turn on Transparent to drop the 3D text onto your own photo or thumbnail.
This is a 3D-style effect on flat text. It doesn't create 3D models.
Add Text to a YouTube Thumbnail
- Set “Canvas Size” to Landscape 16:9 and turn on Transparent.
- Type a short, punchy phrase—two to four words read best at thumbnail size.
- Download the PNG and place it over your screenshot in any image editor or Canva.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a font generator?
Not exactly. Traditional font generators usually create copy-and-paste Unicode characters. This tool creates a PNG image with visual effects such as outlines, gradients, glow, fire, gold and sparkles.
Can I create a transparent PNG?
Yes. Turn on Transparent and download your text as a PNG with a see-through background, ready to place over photos, thumbnails and videos.
Can I make 3D text?
Yes. Every style adds stacked depth and layered outlines for a 3D look, and you can make it thicker or thinner with the Outline slider. It's a 3D-style image, not a 3D model.
