Your words, beautifully framed

Paste your text above, or try a sample to see your first card.

Text goes in. Text cards come out.

Not just Markdown out of a chat window — any text you can select and copy. The studio at the top of this page is the whole product; there is nothing to install and nothing to sign.

  • A ChatGPT or Claude answer
  • Meeting notes
  • A book highlight
  • A changelog
  • A recipe
  • Lecture notes
  • A poem
  • A definition
  • A .md or .txt file
  1. 1

    Paste or drop your text

    Anything you can select and copy. Plain paragraphs work; Markdown gets rendered. You can also drag a .md or .txt file straight onto the box.

  2. 2

    Make it yours

    Pick a style on the left and star the ones you keep coming back to. Recolour it, shuffle the palette, swap the typeface, or drop in your own photo as the background. Everything redraws immediately — there is nothing to apply or confirm.

  3. 3

    Download the set

    Pick a ratio or type exact pixels, then copy one card to the clipboard, save a single card, or take the whole set as a numbered ZIP. PNG, JPG, WebP or PDF.

One note, four of the latest built-in styles. There are 75 across 9 groups.

75 text card styles, and not one of them looks like a screenshot

A legal pad. An iOS note. A terminal window. Parchment, a wanted poster, a comic panel, a certificate. Recolour any of them, or drop your own photo behind the words. Pick one and the entire set takes it — every text card in the set stays consistent, including the ones you have not scrolled to yet.

Grouped as Social · Screens · Paper · Print · Relic · Poster · Gradient · Texture · Solid — so finding a look takes a few seconds instead of a scroll past forty swatches.

Set the type, too. Search the whole Google Fonts library from the style panel and align the text left, centred or right. Change either one and every text card in the set re-typesets — not just the one on screen. Star a favourite and it stays at the top of the style list on this device.

Customise and share

Make a text card yours, then send an editable copy

A style is a starting point. Change its palette, typeface, alignment and built-in labels, or place your own photo behind the text. When it is ready, share a link that opens the same text card for someone else to edit in their browser.

Edit colours and template text
Change the paper, text and accent colours, plus details such as a profile name, handle, ticket number or window title.
Shuffle colour and type independently
Try a new readable palette without moving a line break, or roll a new typeface when you do want to re-typeset the set.
Share a private, editable starting point
The link keeps the text and design state in the URL hash, which browsers do not send to the server. The recipient can remix it without signing in.
A social post text card with editable profile name, like count, colours and body text.
An agenda text card with editable date, event title, time and location labels.A boarding pass text card with editable route, seat, gate and boarding time labels.
Profile names, dates, routes and other template labels are editable — along with the colours and type.

Layout engine

Long text becomes a set of cards, not one unreadable image

Every line is measured with the real font at the real size before anything is drawn, so a break never lands mid-word or halfway through a list item. Paste an entire article and you get a carousel, in order, first try.

  • Breaks land at headings and paragraph ends, the way a person would put them
  • Bold, italics, lists, blockquotes and fenced code all render — nothing turns into stray asterisks
  • Thumbnails under the preview show how many text cards you got; click one to jump to it
  • Keep typing and the whole set repaginates as you go
A long article split into seven text cards. The first card fills the preview and a strip of seven numbered thumbnails runs along the bottom.
One 1,400-character post, split into seven text cards without a single break landing mid-sentence.

One text card, 8 ratios — or any exact size

Switch the ratio and the text re-flows for the new shape. It is not a crop, so nothing gets clipped off the bottom and nothing needs re-typing. If you need a specific pixel size instead, type the width and height and the same thing happens.

Text card FAQ

What people ask before they paste the first thing in.

What is a text card?

A text card is a readable image of a piece of writing — a quote, a note, an answer, a definition — typeset at a size that survives a social feed. TextCard turns text into image cards so the words stay legible instead of being squeezed into a screenshot.

Do I need an account?

No. Paste text, download cards. There is no sign-up, no email step and no trial to start.

Is it free, and is there a watermark?

It is free, and exported text cards carry no watermark, no logo and no badge. There is also no cap on how many you make.

Does my text get uploaded anywhere?

No. Every text card is drawn in your own browser with Canvas. The text you paste never leaves your device, and neither does a background image you import, so drafts and private notes stay private.

What kind of text can I paste in?

Any text. Plain paragraphs work fine. Markdown gets rendered — headings, bold, italics, lists, blockquotes and fenced code blocks. You can also drag in a .md or .txt file, or drop one onto the input box.

Can I change the font, the colours and the alignment?

Yes. The font picker searches the entire Google Fonts library, and the controls beside the preview set the alignment and every colour the style uses — background, text and accent. You can also edit template labels such as a profile name, handle, ticket number or window title. Shuffle rolls a fresh readable palette, while the separate type shuffle changes only the font. All of it applies to the whole set.

Can I use my own image as the background?

Yes. Import a photo and it becomes the card background, with a dimming slider so the text stays readable on top of it. The image is processed in your browser and never uploaded — which also means a share link cannot carry it.

Can I save the styles I use most?

Star any style and it moves to a Favorites group at the top of the list. Favourites live in your browser, so they are there the next time you open the page on the same device.

Can I share an editable text card?

Yes. TextCard can put the text, style, size, font, alignment, colours and editable template labels into a private URL hash. The person opening the link gets the same text card in their browser and can remix it without an account. Background photos stay on your device and are not included.

How long can the text be?

Longer than one card. Anything that overflows is split into a set, and the thumbnail strip under the preview shows exactly how many text cards you ended up with. A long article simply makes more cards.

What sizes can I export?

Eight aspect ratios: 4:5, 3:4, 2:3 and 9:16 for portrait, 1:1 for square, and 16:9, 3:2 and 1.91:1 for landscape and link previews. You can also type an exact width and height in pixels when a brief calls for one. Either way the text re-flows for the new shape — it is not a crop.

Which file formats can I download?

PNG, JPG, WebP and PDF. Single cards also copy to the clipboard as PNG, and the full set downloads as a ZIP.

Can I use the text cards commercially?

Yes. The cards are yours — post them, schedule them, sell them, put them in a deck. No attribution required.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. On a narrow screen the studio stacks input, then the style list, then the preview, and the export controls sit next to the thing they act on.

Your text is one paste away from a card set

The text card studio is at the top of this page. Paste something, click a style, download the set — about fifteen seconds, start to finish.
