Brat Text Generator

A brat text generator is a one-input tool: you supply the words, it supplies the type, the green and the margins. The output is a flat raster image, not a layered file, which is why it loads instantly on a phone and exports at print resolution.

The only real decisions are the line, the typeface and the size. Everything else in this editor exists to keep those three honest: the fit engine shrinks type until the line clears the margins, and the advanced panel exposes the numbers if you would rather set them yourself.

1. 01

   Write the line

   Two or three words fit comfortably at default size. Longer lines wrap onto a second row and the type shrinks to keep the block centred.

2. 02

   Choose a voice

   Arial Narrow is the reference. The advanced panel adds condensed, mono, serif and display faces if you want the same proportion with a different accent.

3. 03

   Set the frame

   Classic fills the viewport, which is what you want for a phone screenshot. Advanced gives exact 1:1, 4:5 and 5:4 frames for feeds and profiles.

4. 04

   Export or copy

   Download a PNG or JPG at up to 2048 px, or copy the image straight to the clipboard and paste it into a chat.

Is there a character limit?

No hard limit. Past roughly six words at default size the type gets small enough that the image stops reading as a brat cover — that is a design limit, not a technical one.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The canvas sits at the top of the screen and stays there while the controls scroll underneath, so you always see the result at the size you will post it.

Are the fonts installed on my device?

Arial Narrow is a system font on Windows and macOS. Every other face is self-hosted and loads with the page, so the render is the same on any machine.
