The Text You Type
Our tools are designed with privacy in mind. When you type a name or any text into a generator on this website:
- The text is converted into fancy fonts inside your own web browser.
- Your text is not sent to our servers, not stored by us and not shared with anyone.
- When you press Copy, the styled text is placed on your device's clipboard only.
We have no way of seeing the names, words or messages you style with our tools.

- Analytics: to count visits and see which tools are popular, for example using Google Analytics. These are only set with your consent.
- Advertising: set by Google and its partners to show and measure ads. These are only set with your consent where required by law.
