Frequently asked questions
Which characters are supported?
Letters A–Z, digits 0–9, and common punctuation (space ! ? . , - ' ( ) / :). Lowercase letters render as capitals. Anything else shows as a blank space.
Why is text limited to 30 characters?
Each letter is 5 characters wide, so long text gets very wide and stops looking good. For longer messages, generate a few banners and stack them.
Can I use the art commercially?
Yes — the output is plain text you created. Use it in READMEs, banners, social posts, anywhere.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The banner is drawn entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing leaves your device.
