How to convert text to image files with a transparent background

When a heading needs to be a picture file

You have a quote or a product label to put on a slide, but you need it as a picture file. Copying the words into another app means setting the font, line breaks, and spacing again. A screenshot can bring along the page background or leave too little room around the letters.

Drawing the words into an image gives you control over the background and the space around the text before you save it. For text that will sit over a photo, choose transparency. If you export that same text as JPG, the background color becomes part of the picture.

This job is about saving the words themselves. If you want an illustration generated from a written description, the tool below does not create one.

Set the words and layout before exporting

Open Text to Image and type or paste the words. It draws them on a canvas in your browser and exports PNG, JPG, or WebP. Your text is not uploaded. The preview changes as you edit, so you can check the line breaks before downloading.

Choose Roboto or a system serif, sans-serif, or monospace font. Set the size, regular or bold weight, italic style, and text color. Left, center, and right alignment control how the lines sit together. One style applies to the whole text; you cannot make only one word bold or upload a custom font.

Use padding to leave room around the letters. Line height changes the space between lines. Enter a Max width to wrap long lines, or press Enter to put a line break where you want it. For example, a two-line quote in 36 px serif with a max width of 600 px can stay within 680 px including padding, as shown on the tool page.

For an overlay, tick Transparent background and choose PNG or WebP. PNG keeps transparency exactly. JPG cannot store transparency and uses the selected background color. The 2x setting draws every size at twice the scale for high-density screens and slides; check the resulting dimensions before you save.
