How This 3D Text Effect Works

This tool draws your text multiple times on a canvas, each copy offset by a tiny amount in your chosen direction, using a gradient of shades from your depth color. Stacking these layers creates the illusion of an extruded, three-dimensional block of text, with the front face drawn last in your chosen highlight color.

Because everything is rendered directly in your browser, changes appear instantly, and your final image is generated at full resolution when you download it.

Create your 3D text in three simple steps.

1

Type Your Text

Enter the text you want, and choose a font and size that fits your design.

2

Set the depth, direction, and colors until the preview looks exactly how you want.
