GIF Generation Service

Welcome to the free trial edition of our GIF

generation service. Enter a message, a font name,

and a font size below, then submit the form. You will

be returned a GIF image showing the message in the 

designated font, with an oblique "shadow" of the message

behind it. Once you get an image you are satisfied with, right

click on it (or click while holding down the SHIFT key) to save

it to your local disk.

The server is currently on Windows, so the font name must

be either a standard Java font name (e.g., Serif, SansSerif,

or Monospaced) or a Windows font name (e.g., Arial Black).

Unrecognized font names will revert to Serif.
