Birdfont edits fonts and exports vector graphics in TTF, OTF, and SVG formats.
MakeText
MakeText generates stylized text graphics as SVG or PNG, with more than 30 effects and hundreds of fonts listed on its page.
About MakeText
MakeText lets users type text, select from 30+ effects and 800+ open-licensed web fonts, adjust color, font size, background and palette, then download the result as SVG or PNG. It also links to a separate Fancy Text Generator for copyable styled text for posts and messengers.
Downloaded SVG files store letters as paths rather than embedded fonts, so the text cannot be edited after generation and cannot be indexed by search engines through its content. Complex SVG filters may render differently in older browsers and can be more CPU-intensive than PNG images.

MakeText FAQ
Can I change the text in a downloaded SVG file?
No. Each letter is converted to an SVG path instead of an embedded font, so the text cannot be changed after generation.
Can search engines index the text inside the SVG files?
No. Because the text is stored as paths, it cannot be indexed through its content. The site suggests using the alt attribute in the img tag for SEO.
Is there an option for usable text instead of an image?
Yes. A separate Fancy Text Generator creates copyable stylish text for use in text posts or messengers.
