Can I use the exported graffiti text for commercial projects?

Yes, you can use all generated graffiti text graphics for commercial and personal projects. The bundled typefaces are open-source fonts licensed under the SIL Open Font License or Apache 2.0. These permissive licenses permit use on commercial merchandise, digital artwork, promotional graphics, and client projects. You can export PNG or SVG files and apply them freely without licensing fees.

How do I make a graffiti name tag online for free?

You can make a free graffiti name tag by typing your text into Cursive Generator's graffiti font generator. Select from open-source graffiti and marker styles like Sedgwick Ave, Permanent Marker, or Rubik Wet Paint. Adjust size, letter spacing, slant, gradients, and text shadows directly in your browser. When satisfied, download a transparent PNG or vector SVG file with no watermark.

Does Cursive Generator upload my text to an external server?

No, Cursive Generator renders all text locally in your browser and does not upload your text. All font shaping, canvas rendering, and file export operations occur strictly on your local device. Because your keystrokes are never transmitted across the network, your input remains entirely private. You can even design and export graphics without an active internet connection once the page is loaded.

Which graffiti and marker fonts are available in this tool?

The tool includes dedicated graffiti and marker fonts such as Sedgwick Ave Display, Sedgwick Ave, Permanent Marker, Rock Salt, and Rubik Wet Paint, alongside brush styles. These typefaces are part of Cursive Generator's collection of 122 open-source fonts licensed under SIL OFL or Apache 2.0. As you enter text, you can preview your words live in each font simultaneously. This allows you to evaluate how different spray, marker, and brush aesthetics fit your lettering.

Can I add gradients and drop shadows to my graffiti letters?

Yes, you can customize your graffiti text with two-color gradients and adjustable drop shadows. The tool supports solid colors as well as horizontal, vertical, and radial gradients using a secondary color. You can also adjust text shadow controls including shadow color, blur radius, and offset values. These controls update in real time to give your lettering custom depth and street-art contrast.

How do I export graffiti text as a transparent PNG?

You can export a transparent PNG by clicking the PNG download option for your chosen font. The resulting image contains no background color or bounding box, allowing you to drop it directly over photos, graphics, or apparel mockups. The export process runs client-side in your browser and produces a clean file without watermarks. You can also preview against different background paper options before downloading.

Can I download scalable vector SVG graffiti files for cutting or printing?

Yes, Cursive Generator provides per-font vector SVG downloads that scale cleanly to any size. Vector SVG files preserve sharp outlines and can be enlarged indefinitely without pixelation. You can import these SVGs into vector editing software or use them for vinyl cutting, screen printing, and large poster mockups. All vector exports are generated locally and free of watermarks.

How do I print a graffiti lettering tracing worksheet for practice?

You can generate and print a graffiti tracing worksheet PDF directly from the tool. This feature formats your custom text into a printable PDF worksheet designed for physical sketching practice. You can print the document on standard home or office paper to trace letterforms with pens, markers, or pencils. It provides a simple way to practice stroke structure away from the screen.

How can I make my graffiti letters look more slanted and dynamic?

You can use the on-canvas slant slider to tilt your graffiti lettering forward or backward. Adjusting the slant angle introduces the rapid, angled rhythm typical of urban tagging and marker lettering. You can pair slant adjustments with letter spacing controls to tighten or expand the gap between characters. Every change updates immediately in the live preview window without delay.

Can I preview my graffiti design on different paper backgrounds before downloading?

Yes, the tool includes background paper options to preview your lettering against varied textures. Switching background paper options lets you test how your text colors, gradients, and shadows look on different surfaces. When you export a transparent PNG or SVG, the background is omitted so your graphic remains clean. This ensures you can evaluate on-screen contrast while retaining a transparent asset for production.
