How it works

Real 3D, built from your letters
A lot of “3D text” online is a flat picture of someone else's word. Here the depth is built from the shape of your letters: the sides, the outline around them and the highlight on top are worked out from the word you type. Change one letter and the 3D follows.
Kinds of 3D you can choose
- Block 3D — solid, deep sides in one color. Strong and easy to read; good for titles and team names.
- Comic 3D — a bold outline plus a shifted shadow layer, like a cartoon cover.
- Glossy 3D — rounded highlights that look like candy or plastic; great for kids' events and cafés.
- Textured 3D — wood grain, marble or ice on the face of the letters.
Getting 3D text to look right
- Use a heavy font. Thin letters disappear behind their own sides.
- Keep the depth moderate for long words — deep sides on many letters start to touch and blur together.
- Make the sides darker than the face. The contrast is what makes the eye read depth.
- Add an outline when the text sits on a photo; it separates the 3D from a busy background.
Where people use 3D text
YouTube thumbnails and stream overlays, game and app titles, birthday and party signs, shop window lettering, stickers and T-shirts. For anything printed, download the PDF — it is set up in print colors (CMYK) with bleed and crop marks, which most print shops ask for.
