Questions

Which fonts can I use?

Helvetica, Times and Courier, each in regular, bold and italic. Text outside the Latin alphabet (Cyrillic, Greek, Devanagari, Chinese, Japanese and more) automatically uses an embedded Unicode font, so it renders the same everywhere.

Can I rotate or wrap text?

Yes. Set any angle, a line spacing, and a maximum width to wrap long text onto several lines.

Security note

Files are checked to be what they claim (by content, not extension), processed in a sandboxed worker with no network, and deleted on the schedule your plan sets. We do not run antivirus and do not claim to — please do not upload files you do not trust. Read the security page.
