3D Text Generator
Extruded, block-shadow 3D lettering from any font — download as PNG, free.
About the 3D Text Generator
The 3D effect extrudes each letter backwards, adding depth and a shaded side so the word looks like a solid object standing on the page. It is the classic look for titles, thumbnails, sale banners and kids' party graphics, and it works with almost any bold font.
Set your text, pick a heavy font (Bebas, Anton, Impact-style faces extrude best), then switch between the Extrude 3D and Block Shadow variants. Adjust the size, choose a background or keep it transparent, and download. Everything is drawn in your browser: nothing is uploaded and there is no queue.
Tips
- Heavy, geometric sans-serifs give the cleanest extrusion; thin fonts look wiry.
- Use a contrasting side colour (dark side, bright face) for maximum depth.
- Combine with the Gold or Chrome effect pages for a metallic 3D title.
FAQ
Is this a real 3D render?
It is a 2D canvas effect that simulates depth with layered extrusion and shading, which is exactly what most "3D text" logos and thumbnails use, and it renders instantly.
Can I change the depth of the 3D effect?
The extrusion scales with the text size: increase the size for a deeper block. Larger exports (4K) keep the edges sharp.
What file do I get?
A PNG with a transparent background by default, at the preview size or a 4K version for print.
Do you have more 3D fonts?
Yes, browse our 3D category for fonts that already have built-in depth, then use them here for an even stronger effect.

Can I use it for my logo / commercial project?
The rendered image is yours to use commercially. Just be aware that some fonts in the dropdown may require a commercial license — check the individual font page if you're selling merchandise or using it in paid advertising.
Why is the canvas transparent by default?
Transparent backgrounds let you place the effect over any image or design later in Photoshop, Canva, or on your website.
