In the context of a project or a publication on social networks, it is sometimes necessary to use information found online. To present them more suitably, some professionals spend long minutes on complex image software to add attractive elements or change the background. To do it faster, there is Text To Image. This tool allows you to convert the text of a website, a paragraph written by you or even a tweet into an impacting visual.
Convert text from any site to an image
Text To Image is a free Chrome extension. To start using it, no email or registration is required. Just download it and go to any site that has textual content. It can be a social network, a media or a platform. Once there, select a sentence or a paragraph. It is then necessary to click on the Text To Image icon, located in the extension bar at the top right of the browser.

A small window opens, offering different options. The first is to choose the background color of the text, which can be dark or light. In a second step, you have to define the padding, that is to say the spacing between the paragraph and the edge of the image. Text To Image offers several alternatives: 0px, 16px, 24px, 32px, 56px or 128px.
Another customization element that makes the difference is the background of the image. Here again, seven possibilities: a yellow, red and pink gradient, another fuchsia and purple, a mauve, a yellow and pale pink, a blue, a purple and yellow, a black… So many choices which allow you to have a rendering take care. Once all the changes have been made, just click on the “Download” button, which will obtain the image in PNG format.
Note that Text To Image has additional features for Twitter. To take advantage of it, click on “Try advanced tool” on the extension. At first, it is necessary to copy-paste the link of the tweet that you want to transform into an image. We can then choose the background, the shape of the image, if we want to leave visible the number of retweets, replies and likes, the display of the tweet, the light or dark mode…
This can be useful when you want to add a tweet in a presentation or share it in a story, without being satisfied with a simple unattractive screenshot. This functionality is not limited to tweets: it also extends to texts and images.
