SUPPORT
TEXTR is a feature-rich web-based creative tool for generating typographic art and animations. It converts user text into vector paths, allowing artists to duplicate and distribute it as words or individual letters across the canvas with extensive transformation controls. Users can choose a font from Google's vast library or seamlessly import any custom fonts on the canvas through drag-and-drop functionality.
TEXTR provides flexible export options, and its main advantage is the ability to export the graphics in scalable SVG format. Animations can be exported as MP4 video format or as sequences of PNG/WebP images, which can be compiled into videos with tools like FFmpeg library or similar.
As always, the tool offers ready-to-use presets for quick starts, and artists can save and load their custom presets in JSON format, making it easy to revisit and continue their creative projects.

The tool is available as a free version – fully functional but with watermarks on exported graphics, so you can thoroughly evaluate its capabilities before committing. Without a valid license key, the tools can only be used for evaluation and testing. To remove watermarks and obtain full usage rights, please purchase a license key at Gumroad:

Some technical tips regarding the use of the tool:
- Fonts: The program supports fonts in OTF, TTF, WOFF formats. But some fonts may not be read properly resulting in an error. Also, in some cases, font features such as kerning or ligatures may not be properly handled.
- Video Export: During export to video, the process may stop due to insufficient memory, especially with high resolution or long videos. If this happens, try reducing the resolution or length of the video. For large or high-resolution videos, consider exporting as a PNG sequence and later converting it to a video using the FFmpeg library.
When exporting to MP4 format, a library-related lag can lead to performance drops, causing the program to slow down noticeably after capturing and exporting the animation. Refreshing the page resolves this issue. - Mobile Support: The program is not designed to run on mobile devices.
- Screen size: A minimum resolution of 800x600 is required.
Please let me know if you're running into any issues or discover a bug while using the program.
