Retro Text Generator

Summary

This tool draws your text on a canvas with a bold gradient fill and a stacked chrome outline that mimics 80s outrun poster art. Pick a color gradient for the letters, choose a sky background, and toggle a banded sun, a perspective grid floor, and a scanline overlay to build the scene. The finished graphic downloads as a PNG for thumbnails, posters, or social banners.

How it works

1. Type your text into the input box (line breaks make multiple lines).
2. Pick a text gradient such as Sunset, Miami, Grape, Fire, or Chrome.
3. Choose a background sky style for the scene.
4. Toggle the sun, grid floor, chrome outline, and scanline overlay on or off.
5. Watch the canvas preview update live as you change settings.
6. Click "Download PNG" to save the rendered image.
