I made a tool to generate Toon Text

Partway through writing an upcoming article for Smashing Magazine, I decided it would be helpful to have a tool to generate text styled like that in my beloved cartoon titles. So I made one.

My Toon Text tool enables you to add colours, strokes, and multiple text shadows. You can change the paint order, apply letter-spacing, and preview your text using a few sample fonts. Then, you can copy the CSS to your clipboard to use in a project.

I’ll no doubt refine it over time, but for now, here’s my Toon Text generator. You might also like my growing collection of Toon Text examples, inspired by classic Hanna-Barbera title cards.
