3D text that looks stunning, made in your browser.

Turn your text into real 3D letters, with bevels that catch the light, realistic shaders & materials like liquid glass, chrome, metal, or matte, and 40+ text animation presets. Edit the words, select from dozens of fonts or upload your own, then export for every screen as transparent video, looping GIF, interactive HTML embed.

Glass type template: solid glass letters in a dark studio, a single light running along their bevelled edges and bending through the type

Pick & edit the material. The lighting does the rest.

Every 3D letter is a physically based surface in a lit scene with customizable lighting, shaders, and materials, so the appearance is realistically rendered based on how the light interacts with it, not from a pre-baked filter.

Glass

Bends what's behind it.

Clear or frosted glass letters refract the scene behind them, and the bevel catches a bright edge where the light hits.

Chrome and metal

Reflects the room.

Metal letters mirror the scene's environment, so a studio, golden hour or your own HDRI slides across every curve as the type turns.

Matte and glossy

Reads like a made object.

Soft matte or polished letters in your brand color, with a bevel the key light picks out and a shadow that sets them down on the ground.

One-click looks

21 materials, one click each.

Chrome, Gold, Copper, Crystal, Liquid glass, Porcelain, Oak and more set the material, color and texture together.

From 2D to 3D text with a switch.

Select any text, open Text settings and turn on 3D. The letters gain real depth and a bevel, and the Material setting decides what they're made of: matte, glossy, glass, frosted glass, metal, or one of the one-click looks such as Chrome. Turn the layer slightly or move the camera and the depth and reflections show; face it head-on and it still reads like clean, flat type.

Your words stay live and editable text the whole time. Change the copy, switch the font (34 built in, or upload your own TTF or OTF), adjust the size, spacing, appearance, and effects, and the 3D letters update in real-time. Expand your text in shapes with 'Convert to path', which turns the letters into editable vector outlines, and closed paths have their own depth, bevels, and materials.

3D text that interacts with lighting realistically.

3D text in the Paraplex app exists in a real 3D scene. Pick a lighting environment preset, from soft studios and golden hour to skies or your own HDRI, then add spot, area, and point lights you can adjust the position, color, and keyframes of. Glass letters bend the light behind them with realistic refraction and dispersion, chrome reflects the lighting of its surroundings in every curve, and shadows and glows affect other layers and emit light.

Customize everything to your liking. Keep the scene mostly neutral and let the materials do the coloring, with the color of the light sources interacting with materials as they naturally would. The result? 3D type that looks like it was photographed in real life, rather than generated. For high quality renders, use 'Studio render' to trace the light as it bounces like Ray Tracing in a video game.

Animate it like any text.

Text in Paraplex comes with 40+ animation presets, including Stomp, Mask rise, Blur in, Tracking in, Flip in, Tumble, Scatter, Typewriter and GSAP Split Text effects that split by character, word or line, with customizable easing curves. Use them as entrance animations or exit animations that play it backwards. Give a 3D title studio-quality camera movements like push in or orbit, and the depth and reflections render realistically as it turns.

Keyframe any layer by hand, or use the AI assistant to handle the busy work like automatically syncing to the beat of a song.

Chrome, glass and liquid metal in one click.

16 ready-made text styles set a whole look at once, including Glass, Frosted, Liquid metal, 80s chrome, Emboss, Outline and Paper cut. A style sets the font, size, color, material, depth, glow, shadow and outline, never the words, the position or the animation.

Save any text's look as a style of your own. Edit the style later and every text that follows it updates, so a title looks the same across a whole series. Keep your styles in a design system and they come along to every project.

Questions about 3D text

How do I make 3D text in Paraplex?

Add a text layer, open Text settings and turn on 3D. Set Depth and Bevel, then pick a Material such as glass, frosted glass or metal, or a one-click look such as Chrome. Turn the layer slightly or move the camera to show the depth.

Is it free to make 3D text?

Yes. You can make and export 3D text on the Free plan, with video up to 1080p at 30 fps and no watermark, in your browser with nothing to install. Pro adds 4K and 60 fps and more.

Can I still edit the words after making them 3D?

Yes. 3D text stays a live text layer, so you can change the words, font, size, weight, italics or spacing at any time and the 3D letters rebuild in real time. If you want the letters as shapes instead, Convert to path turns them into one editable vector outline.

Can I make chrome or glass text?

Yes. Set the Material to glass, frosted glass or metal, or choose a one-click look such as Chrome, Gold, Crystal or Liquid glass. The Glass, Frosted, Liquid metal and 80s chrome text styles set a whole look in one step. Glass letters bend what's behind them in the scene, and chrome reflects the scene's environment.

Can I use my own font for 3D text?

Yes. Paraplex has 34 built-in fonts, and you can upload your own TTF or OTF fonts. Uploaded fonts are saved inside the project, so they travel with it.

Can I export 3D text with a transparent background?

Yes. Export a WebM with alpha for a website, or a PNG sequence for After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro, free up to 1080p at 30 fps. For a single frame, export a transparent PNG still.

How is 3D text different from kinetic typography?

Kinetic typography is about how letters move: the 40+ presets that bring text in by character, word or line. 3D text is about what the letters are made of: depth, bevel, material and light. The presets work on any text layer, 2D or 3D, and turning on 3D gives them more to play with, so most titles use both.

Coming soon: post straight to your accounts.

Not available yet. Two things are on the way for marketing teams. The first is posting finished pieces straight to your linked social accounts.

The second is a long-form YouTube workflow for 3D documentaries, educational videos and tutorials: an outline and research, a voiceover, B-roll and generated 3D scenes, edits timed to the narration with music, sound and titles, landscape and vertical renders for each platform, and titles, descriptions and hashtags written for each post. Both will be listed here when they ship.

“Every client has a brand.”

A design system per client.

Keep each client's colors, fonts, text styles, materials, scene looks and motion as its own design system in your Library, and apply it to any scene in one step. A client's kit exports as one file to share with a teammate.

“The revisions never end.”

A link for review, a step to undo.

Copy a shareable link that publishes the piece as a web page, then refresh it after each round while the address stays the same. Notes on the canvas never export, undo has no limit, and each project keeps a History of recent saves to restore.

“The volume keeps growing.”

Templates, including your own.

Start from 70+ editable templates that each say what to swap in, or save any scene as a template of your own. Data variants make one version per spreadsheet row, and on Pro, Export all variants renders them in one job.

“Every channel wants its own size.”

One scene, every format.

Add 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or 4:3 as artboards beside the frame, each reframed for its shape, with safe zones for TikTok, Reels, Shorts and the Instagram feed. On Pro, one export renders every enabled format.

Code layers bring HTML, CSS, JavaScript or React into a scene, flat over the frame or as a card in 3D. In an embed they keep running and respond to the pointer, so a live counter or a slice of your product's UI can sit inside the 3D scene on your site.

States

States, not just a loop.

Calm for anyone who asks.

Visitors who ask their device for less motion see the first frame held instead of the animation.
