Common mistakes

Entering extremely large dimensions

Consequence: Very large images may cause browser performance issues, slow rendering, or memory errors.

Fix: Keep dimensions under 2000x2000 pixels for reliable performance.

Using invalid color codes

Consequence: Invalid hex codes result in default black or transparent colors in the output.

Fix: Use valid hex format #RRGGBB — for example #ff0000 for red or #ffffff for white.

Too many lines of text

Consequence: More than 10 lines are truncated to prevent overflow and maintain readability.

Fix: Keep text to 10 lines or fewer and use shorter lines for cleaner output.

Forgetting the pipe separator format

Consequence: Without pipes the entire input is treated as text content with default settings.

Fix: Use the format text|width|height|bg|fg with pipe characters for custom dimensions.

Not checking the preview before download

Consequence: Generated images may not look as expected without reviewing the output first.

Fix: Always preview the generated image in the output panel before downloading.

Using very long text strings

Consequence: Extremely long text may overflow the image boundaries or become too small to read.

Fix: Keep text concise or adjust font size and image dimensions to accommodate longer text.

Choosing colors that are hard to read

Consequence: Low contrast between text and background makes the generated image difficult to read.

Fix: Use high-contrast color combinations for maximum readability.

Best practices

  • Use pipe-separated format for precise control: text|width|height|bg|fg
  • Keep text under 60 characters per line for best readability
  • Use contrasting colors for clear text rendering against the background
  • Set specific dimensions for your target platform before generating

Frequently asked questions

How do I set image dimensions?

Use pipe-separated format: text|width|height|bg|fg — for example: Hello|800|400|#000|#fff for an 800x400 image.

What is the maximum image size?

Maximum dimensions are 2000x2000 pixels. Larger values are automatically clamped to prevent browser memory issues.

What text styling options are available for PNG generation?

You can customize font family, size, color, background color, padding, line height, and alignment. The tool supports custom web fonts, gradient backgrounds, and export at 1x, 2x, or 3x resolution for retina displays.

Can I use multiple lines of text?

Yes. Use newline characters in your input. Up to 10 lines are supported for multi-line text rendering.

What format is the generated image?

The image is generated as PNG format with full transparency support. You can download it directly.

How do I change background and foreground colors?

Use hex color codes in the pipe format: text|width|height|backgroundColor|textColor. For example: Hello|400|200|#ff6600|#ffffff.

Why is my text cut off?

Very long text may exceed the image width. Use shorter text or increase the width parameter.

Can I generate images with transparent backgrounds?

Yes. Use a transparent hex value or leave the background color empty in the pipe format.

How do I make text larger or smaller?

The font size auto-adjusts based on text length and image width. Use shorter text or larger dimensions for bigger text.

Can I use this to create social media images?

Yes. Set dimensions to 1200x630 for OG images, 1080x1080 for Instagram, or 1200x628 for Facebook posts.
