Online text generators with multilingual support

Probably you have already used at least some amazing text effects from these Online Text Generators. No matter it's the most complete e full featured set of online text makers, if your native language is not English, possibly you missed the ability to create symbols that are specific to your language.

This problem is over. Now all online text editors that you can use there have a very good multilingual feature, so your language is supported you can draw all texts you need having correct spell.

Below I show a lot of newly supported symbols and some of them are present in several important languages (click the image to see it in full size). This text effect in particular was created by using this Online 3D Text Editor.


You can see a list of all supported languages at this how to use page, which applies to all text makers gathered at the Online Text Creators page.

TIP: graffiti your name by using a pro graffiti text effect

If you like graffiti art and/or "3D style" text effects, I have a nice tip that can inspire you to create great "virtual pieces of graffiti art".

There is an online tool that let you write virtually you name in a real (photographic) wall using a very powerful and versatile interface. Try this Graffiti Text Effect software and see by yourself.

This graffiti creator is amazingly powerful. Some people feel a little scared because of the big number of configuration options this tool has, but don't worry. It's not that hard to learn how to use it and the default parameters already make a great job.

As an example, you can create a very realistic and professional graffiti of your name (or whatever you want) just by putting it in the first text box. So, if you press the "Calculate Effect" button, you already get a beautiful graffiti text like this (click to see in real size):


If you really want to know how to use the full features set, don't forget to read the valuable tips at the page top. Following them can help you to get a smoother learning.

TUTORIAL: typography - a text made of text

This one is about teaching you how to get a text made of letters. This kind of effect already helped me sometimes.

You can create it by opening this typographic effect generator and putting these values:
- Text: metatext (set as you need);
- Font size: Very Big;
- Margin: 5;
- Background color: FFFFC0;
- Text color: 000000;
- Font name: Dokyo.

Making this way, you get this result (click to enlarge):


Extra tips:
- I think this effect gets better when applied over thick font faces;
- if you choose a different font size - "Normal" for example -, you can get (relatively) bigger assembling letters;
- make amazing and unusual typographic effects by trying these free typography tools.

Is there a text effect you would like to see here? You can ask for it commenting here or sending me an e-mail.
