How to create transparent text labels online

There is an application online that is very useful to create simple transparent text. Since you produce an image with anti-aliased transparent background and optional text alpha, this transparent text creator is perfect to design watermark texts or text labels to be applied to images after as a post-processing step.

This generator of text with alpha channel has many useful features like for example:
- more than 450 beautiful and fancy font faces to choose;
- many font sizes available;
- optional text outline;
- outline thickness configuration;
- full text color set up;
- many advanced text layouts;
- final text rotation;
- production quality anti-aliased text rendering.

You can, for example, create a cool circular text label as the one you see below. I didn't use this feature, but the text itself could be partially transparent if desired. You just need to use this Transparent PNG Text Maker.
