How to convert your text into the right font
Here are the steps it takes to get your font converted. Easy, convenient and fast to setup.
Register your account
- After registering, you'll receive your login data and the payment information.
As soon as you have made your payment, the account is valid and can be
used for the paid period of time.
Download the script
- You will receive a download link with the script needed to convert your
text to image. Put the content of the ZIP file into the ROOT of your website.
Edit the script
- Open the cache.php file with a text-editor or the editor of your liking
- Edit the path to your cache directory ( standard is "/cache/" )
- Edit the fields "user" and "pass" and enter the data provided when
registering - Save the file - do NOT alter the encrypted code as the script may not
work properly then anymore

Caching your images
All the images that you requested will be automatically stored in your cache folder. So you don't need to rely upon our server to deliver the images. To get rid of the images, and let them recreate, just empty the cache folder.
How to get your favourite font
If your favorite font isn't listed here, it's easy to apply for this font. Every additional font costs 100$, and will be available as soon as you have paid the font. Request fonts by email please.
Using your CSS file
You can - instead of supplying all those parameters by hand, create a CSS file and supply this as a parameter. Please note that you need to call another file to see results:
<img src="css.php?text=TEXT&css=CSS_FILE&class=CLASS
The CSS file needs to contain the following:
.test{
font-family: "Akzidenz-Grotesk-Roman";
background-color:#000000;
font-size: 24pt;
color: #FFF;
}
- Class name
- Font family
- Background color
- Font color
Sample
Please note that the font-size needs to be supplied in pt, not in px.
Hint: You might use the alt tag of the image to place the real string in it ( better for search engines )
