Questions People Ask
Honest answers about how this works.
Can I really use my own fonts?
Great question. Not yet — the tool ships with a curated list of Google Fonts that are tested for clean extrusion, because thin or decorative faces tend to blur when the depth layers are stacked. The list covers display, slab, and serif styles, so most 3D headline needs are met today.
Is the background transparent?
Short answer: Yes. Set background opacity to 0% and the export writes a PNG with an alpha channel behind and between the extruded letters. That makes the finished text easy to drop onto banners, videos, or colored headers. If you leave the opacity above zero, the chosen background color is baked into the file instead.
How is the 3D depth actually rendered?
The 3D Text Effect stacks many offset copies of your text behind the front face — the 3D Depth slider controls how far those layers shift — then skews the whole group by the X, Y, and Z rotation values to fake perspective. Everything is drawn to a canvas and exported as a PNG.
