About Text to Image
This tool renders text to an image using the HTML Canvas API directly in your browser. It supports multi-line text, automatic line wrapping, custom typography, and PNG download.
Last reviewed: March 27, 2026.
How Rendering Works
- Text parsing: Input is split into lines by newline characters.
- Line wrapping: Long lines are wrapped based on your max width setting.
- Canvas sizing: Width and height are calculated from measured text metrics and padding.
- Drawing: Background and text are painted onto canvas using selected styles.
- Export: Canvas output is downloaded as a lossless PNG file.
Limits and Behavior
- Multi-line support: Manual line breaks are preserved.
- Auto-wrap: Long lines wrap automatically to stay within max width.
- Empty input behavior: If no text is entered, preview renders a default
Sample text. - Input length cap: Text input is limited to
20,000characters. - Safety limit: Output canvas is capped at
4096 x 4096to avoid browser instability. - Rendering differences: Font anti-aliasing may vary by browser and operating system.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What image format is generated?
- The tool exports PNG images generated from an HTML canvas. PNG is lossless and well-suited for text graphics.
- Does this tool support multi-line text?
- Yes. Manual line breaks are preserved, and long lines are wrapped automatically based on the max width setting.
- Can I change font, size, and colors?
- Yes. You can choose font family, font size, text color, and background color before generating the image.
- Is my text uploaded to a server?
- No. Rendering happens locally in your browser using Canvas API. Text is not uploaded by this tool.
- Is there a size limit for generated images?
- Yes. To avoid browser crashes, output is limited to a maximum canvas size of 4096 by 4096 pixels.
- What happens if the input is empty?
- If the text box is empty, the preview uses a built-in "Sample text" placeholder so you can still test styling and export settings.
- Why may text look slightly different across browsers?
- Different browsers and operating systems use different font rendering engines, so anti-aliasing and spacing can vary slightly.
