Find the 'Advanced/Simple' toggle switch at the top of the settings panel. When advanced mode is enabled, you'll get more customization options to fine-tune your design.

Text Settings

Text Color

Choose black or white text. Black works for light backgrounds, white for dark backgrounds, ensuring sufficient contrast.

Font Family

5 font choices available, each with different visual effects and atmosphere.

  • Arial - Classic Brat style (recommended)
  • Helvetica - Modern and clean
  • Impact - Bold effect

Layout Control

Font Size (30px - 150px)

In advanced mode, you can precisely control font size. The system auto-adjusts based on text length, but you can also set it manually.

💡 Suggestion: Large fonts (100px+) for short text, small fonts (50px-) for long text

Text Alignment

Choose center alignment or top-left alignment. Center works for slogans, left alignment for multi-line text.

Letter Spacing (-5px to 10px)

Adjust spacing between letters. Negative values make text more compact, positive values more spaced out.
