How it works

This outline font generator draws your word in Titan One, white with a dark edge, on sky blue. Strength of the look sets how thick the edge is. Eight heavy faces carry it, one of them drawn as an outline already.

Four edges

Outline paints an edge round filled letters. Hollow keeps only a thin line, so the background shows through. Sticker adds a wide white rim and a soft shadow. Spiky outline has sharp corners where Outline has round ones.

Two colors

Under More options, Letter colour and Outline colour take any two colors. Rampart One needs no look: its letters are drawn as outlines with a shadow. Give it Plain and the Black colors.

  • Bungee, Bungee Inline and Graduate have capitals only: small letters come out as capitals.
  • To color the letters in by hand, pick the Colour-in outline colors on White and print.

Questions and answers

Can I use it as a thumbnail text generator?

Yes. Thumbnail text is heavy capitals with a thick edge in a second color. Pick Sticker or Outline, set Background to Transparent under More options, and lay the PNG over your picture.

Does it convert text to outlines, the way a design program does?

No. Here an outline is an edge drawn round each letter. The SVG this page saves keeps your words as text, with the font embedded in the file, not as paths.

How thick can the outline get?

Drag Strength of the look. At the left end the edge is under half its usual width, at the right end over one and a half times.
