1. Entering Text and Selecting Fonts

Type or paste your text in any Indic language (Kannada, Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, etc.) or English into the text canvas. The studio automatically handles complex Unicode shaping, conjuncts, and vowel attachments in real time.

Browse the curated font collection—including heavy display typefaces, handwritten calligraphy, and modern geometric fonts—or drag and drop your own custom TTF or OTF font directly into the browser to use it immediately.

  • Instant Unicode text shaping with zero font clipping
  • Support for custom local TrueType and OpenType font uploads
  • Multi-line text formatting with adjustable line height and letter spacing

2. Styling with Dual Strokes, Gradients, and 3D Shadows

The secret to professional video titles and stickers is layered outline styling. Lipi provides comprehensive visual controls that let you layer an inner border and an outer outline simultaneously.

Customize text fill with solid vibrant hues or smooth linear gradients. Enable drop shadows with adjustable blur radius, offset distance, and opacity to give your typography a distinct 3D pop that remains legible over any background video or photo.

  • Dual outline borders: Inner stroke for character sharpness + outer border for extreme contrast
  • Gradient fills: Multi-stop linear gradients tailored for display titles
  • 3D drop shadows: Smooth alpha shadows that prevent background clashing

3. Canvas Transformations & Preset Effects

Use the transformation controls to rotate text, adjust padding, scale font size dynamically, and test pre-designed artistic presets. Presets give you instant 1-click styling optimized for gaming channels, news breaking banners, comedy memes, and devotional titles.

4. Exporting Transparent PNGs and Copying to Clipboard

Once your typography is styled, export your design as a lossless 32-bit transparent PNG graphic at 1x standard, 2x HD, or 4x Ultra HD resolution. The transparent alpha background ensures zero manual masking in external software.

For rapid social media workflows, click Copy Image to paste the transparent sticker directly into Photoshop, Canva, WhatsApp Web, or Discord.

  • Ultra HD 4x rendering: Crisp, artifact-free text even on 4K video timelines
  • Direct clipboard copy: Instant pasting into graphic design tools and chat apps
  • Zero server uploads: All rendering happens locally in your browser for total privacy
