Chrome Text Generator
Mirror-polished chrome and brushed steel lettering — transparent PNG, free.
About the Chrome Text Generator
Chrome lettering has the horizon-line reflection you see on car badges, 90s software boxes and Y2K album covers: a bright sky half, a dark ground half and a razor-sharp highlight between them. This generator reproduces that gradient and bevel on any text.
Choose a bold font, select Chrome (or the retro Y2K Chrome variant with a stronger bubble bevel), tune the size and download. Because the reflection is drawn per letter, wide and rounded fonts give the most convincing metal.
Tips
- Chrome reads best on black or on a gradient background; on white it looks grey.
- Wide, rounded fonts show more reflection surface than condensed ones.
- Pair with the 3D effect page for an extruded chrome badge.
FAQ
What is the difference between Chrome and Y2K Chrome?
Chrome is a clean automotive-style mirror finish; Y2K Chrome adds the bulging bubble bevel and rainbow tint of early-2000s graphics.
Can I export the chrome text at high resolution?
Yes, use the 4K download. The gradient is vector-like on the canvas, so it stays crisp.
Is the background transparent?
By default yes. Add a solid colour in the panel if you prefer.
Can I use my own font?
Any font from the dropdown, or open the tool from a font page on FFonts.net with "Try this font" to load that font here.

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.
