Frequently asked questions

Which characters can it draw?

A–Z, 0–9 and common punctuation. Lowercase letters are drawn uppercase, and any character the font does not cover is drawn as ?.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. The bitmap font and the renderer ship with the page, so the banner is built entirely on your device.

What do the styles do?

Solid draws plain blocks, Shadow adds a dotted drop shadow, and Slant shifts the upper rows for an italic look.

How much text can it draw?

Up to 200 characters across up to 8 lines; anything past either limit is dropped, and the tool says which limit it hit. Each line becomes its own banner, separated by a blank row.

Why did my text wrap onto several banners?

Long lines wrap at word boundaries so the art fits the wrap width. The shadow and slant styles reserve room for the shadow and the shift, so those rows stay inside the width too. Choose No wrap to keep everything on one line.
