How to Generate Stylized Text in Windows 10 & 11

Regular fonts aren’t always sufficient when users need more visually appealing heading text to add to website and publication-style documents, such as brochures, leaflets, magazine pages, etc. You can make websites and documents stand out by adding stylized text to them. Stylized text is a more unique and creative form of text.

Windows 11/10 doesn’t have any pre-installed app for generating stylized text. Paint, Paint 3D, and Photos are of little use for generating fancy text. Nevertheless, you can still generate stylized text in Windows 11 and 10 with these third-party apps and extensions.

How to Generate Stylized Text With Creative Text Creator

Creative Text Creator is a UWP (Universal Windows Platform) app with which you can generate stylized text on different backgrounds and save the output in the PNG image format. Then you can add the stylized text PNG image to a document or website. Creative Text Generator is a freely available app, but it also has an ad-free deluxe version that includes premium fonts and backgrounds.

You can add Creative Text Creator to Windows 10 and 11 by clicking Get in Store app on its MS Store page. Select the Open in Microsoft Store option. Then click the Install button to download and add Creative Text Creator.

After launching Creative Text Creator, click Start Creating to view the app’s options. Select Text to bring up a text box. Input your text within the box, and click the tick button to add it over the background.

You can change the style by clicking the Font option. Then click through the font boxes to choose an alternative.

To resize the text, click on it to activate its selection box. Left-click the resize button and move the mouse right or left to expand or reduce the text. You can also click the Size option and drag the bar’s slider left or right to resize the text.

You can change the color of the text by clicking the Color option. Select a circle to apply its color to the text.

Creative Text Creator includes options for adding transparency and shadow effects. Click the Shadow option and drag the bar slider for it to apply a shadow effect. You can add transparency to the text by selecting the Opacity option and dragging the bar slider.

Click the tick button when you’ve finished editing. Then you can also change the text’s backdrop by selecting Background. Click a category, and then choose a background from those available. Alternatively, you can select Transparency to have no background set or Gallery to add your own.

When done, click the Save disk icon on the right side of the options bar. Clicking that option will automatically save the text as a PNG file to a predetermined folder. You can select Saved File to bring up the Creative Text Folder that includes your saved output.
