Rainbow Letters With Real 3D Depth — Not Flat Gradient Text
Most "rainbow text" tools apply a flat CSS linear-gradient to plain characters. This studio renders animated rainbow fills inside real font glyph shapes, then extrudes each letter with up to 12 depth steps, dual outlines, and glow shadows. The result looks like a 3D arcade title or pride parade banner — exportable as PNG, GIF, or WebM.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Rainbow 3D Text Generator?
- It is a browser-based text effect studio that paints animated rainbow gradients inside real font glyphs, then extrudes them with adjustable 3D depth, dual outlines, and glow shadows. Export transparent PNG, animated GIF hue-shift loops, or WebM for video editors — not flat CSS rainbow color or Unicode copy-paste.
- How is this different from the Glitter or Gold Font Generators?
- Glitter fills letters with sparkle texture tiles for party shimmer. Gold applies metallic mirror/foil finishes for luxury logos. This Rainbow 3D Text Generator focuses on full-spectrum rainbow gradients with strong extruded depth (up to 12 steps) — ideal for pride posters, arcade YouTube titles, neon gaming thumbnails, and holo sticker PNGs.
- Which fonts can I use?
- The Fonts tab offers 483+ local display faces from public/fonts/ (category filters, favorites, pagination) and 1,940+ Google Fonts loaded on demand. Default opens with Bungee + Pride Parade 3D preset. Add .ttf/.otf files to public/fonts/ and run npm run generate:local-fonts to refresh.
- What rainbow modes are available?
- Six modes: Full Spectrum (smooth ROYGBIV), Pride Stripes (horizontal band pride colors), Retro Arcade (80s game title), Neon Glow (electric cyan-magenta), Pastel Dream (soft kawaii rainbow), and Holographic (iridescent foil bands). Each supports intensity, angle, saturation, and independent hue-shift animation.
- Can I export transparent PNG or animated GIF?
- Yes. Set Background to Transparent, pick the Holographic Sticker preset, and download PNG at 1×–4× scale. Enable hue shift animation and export GIF or WebM for moving rainbow sweeps across the 3D lettering.
