Quickly and easily create motion titles and text effect animations for iMovie intros, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, title animations for Keynote and more. The wide choice of text design templates and text effect editing tools will help you create holiday greeting cards, flyer and brochure titles, company logos, book covers, and beautiful text effects for Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter posts and channel covers. CREATING 3D TEXT • Unique 3D Engine. Type a text in Art Text, and watch it instantly create a 3D model from a user-chosen typeface. • Bump Map Technology. Add and fine-tune bumps and wrinkles on a 3D text surface to simulate the natural roughness of brick, ice, rust metal, etc. • Reflection Mask Tool. Maximize surface roughness authenticity with Reflection Mask, which defines reflective and non-reflective areas. It is especially useful for rusty, decayed or scratched surfaces. • Environment Textures. Environment texture is a great way to simulate reflections from external sources. • Light Options. Control the way 3D text is lit by moving spotlights and changing light colors. • 200+ Material Presets. Creating high-quality 3D typography is simplified with material presets. Each preset is an exclusive combination of texture, bump map, environment and light options. • Soft Shadow. Activating the shadow option will drop the natural shadow of a 3D text object. • Glow Effect. The 3D glow effect makes bright surface areas literally radiate. • Parallel Projection. See how 3D object view transitions from Perspective to Parallel projection instantly. • Facebook 3D Photo Export 3D text in the format suitable for Facebook 3D Photo. 2D TEXT EFFECTS • Spray Fill. Populate text with over 440 photo objects to simulate the effect of words being laid out with such objects as coffee beans, color balls, autumn leaves and clouds. • Distortion Effects. Edit fonts beyond common typeface options to wear out text sides, create random holes in the body, partially dim text and much more. • Shading Materials. Create convex and embossed text effects or replicate a gleam of light on text. • Twist and Bend. Transform text shapes with any of the 24 transformation patterns. • Text Outline Effects. A common set of effects includes: Shadow, Glow, Inner Shadow and Stroke. • Brand-new rendering based on Apple Metal. GENERAL • 180 text design templates. • 122 style presets for quick text effects. • 750+ supplied smart shapes, vector icons, symbols, signs and hand-drawn shapes. • 150 masks. • Dark and light appearance supported. • Extend workspace to an iPad display thanks to Apple Sidecar support. Export the entire graphics to PNG, PDF, JPEG, GIF, EPS format, alpha channel (transparent background) supported. Export text animations to QuickTime, MP4, M4V, and GIF formats.

    Belight apps are native through and through. It's so nice to work in familiar UI/UX. I really the love approach here. Instead of just offering an blank editor Art Text jump starts you into beautiful templates and makes things like masking and lighting super easy. The boilerplate is done and the fun design can begin immediately. Thanks for the awesome apps!

    I'm not sure why this doesn't have a solid 4.5 or 5 star rating, but I think the latest version is probably way more than adequate for most common use cases. And even beyond... For example, what I need it for and bought it for at this point is, I have a custom font that I created with Glyphs 3 app (my hand drawn graphics characters). My font defines characters in the the UNICODE numeric range reserved for custom characters, so they don't correspond to keyboard keys. But I was able to import the font in Font Book on mac, and copy and paste the symbols into Art Text 4, and convert to 3D, make them metallic and rotate them, etc... Trying to do that with a bunch of characters in Photoshop or Affinity would be a big hassle and learning curve, but Art Text 4 makes it so easier. I used an earlier version of this app, and this is even better.
  • Best app for 3D text work

    Let start by saying this app is amazing. They continuiously update it with new types of 3D fonts. The app is very user friendly easy to learn and use. The only thing I dont like about the app is how limited the fonts are. The fonts they have are super amazing, do not get me wrong, I believe there should more. I would like to see an Old English or maybe Comic San font that can be used in 3D. Overall this is worth it and its just a 1 time fee.
  • Great app for non-designers (designers too)

    I've been using ArtText for a long time - since v.2. I'm not a designer, but ArtText is brilliant for me to design icons and graphic images for my own apps and websites. Its' easy and intuitive. Their product support is terrific - fast responses with helpful answers, I also have started to use their app Amadine, and together, these products meet my design needs.
  • WOW! Buy this before they raise the price!

    By Well its just me
    I've been using Art Text since the original release. It's one of those apps that I open once or twice a month for something, and never really forget about. Given how long it's been around, I actually consider this high praise. WIth the 4.2 release, animation features have been added that make this so much more useful for me, so I expect I'll go from a couple of times a month to several times a week. This is a thoughtfully designed app, and a Mac app through and through. It's a lot of fun to play with, but also very useful. Most recently, I created art for a badge we will award students, and I frequently use it for eye-catching graphics to break up long text passages in content I create for the classroom. Now these will be even MORE eye-catching, with animation! My advice is to buy this app now before Be Light realizes what a great addition this is and raises the price!
  • Lame review response...

    Update: The app is good, the support department may be as defensive as a raging bull for not hurtful reviews like mine. Think before type so next time you could actually build a loyal costumers catalogue. Past review: Let me use the 3d effects to SVG files and you will get a 5 stars rating! Their answer: "Unfortunately, effects for 2D and 3D objects are different and can not be exchanged. You can always send feature requests to our support team"
  • I use this for everything

  • Hot Mess

    This app is a hot mess. 1. You have to pay extra for a lot of effects, which I did NOT realize before purchasing. 2. This app will probably mess up your computer, as it does mine, all the time. At this point, it's impossible to get things done. I have a freshly rebooted computer - 2021 Macbook Air with M1 chip - with only a couple apps open. And I get the message that my computer is out of system memory, close some apps. This only ever happens after starting to use this app, so I know this app is the problem. Suggestions for developrs: Make an app that doesn't overload system memory. 2. Be less greedy with your pricing structure.
  • Still Crashing / Closing Out

    Again, the same! The latest update, even after resetting my Mac M1 to factory-new just to be sure, still constantly crashes / closes out. To top it off, the engineers cannot manage to size the logo correctly in the Apple Dock? And, I’m guessing, they’ll read this and request contacting technical support… which, to date, never accomplished anything.

    I have all versions of this application, multiplying groups of objects freezes an imac pro. When trying to convert a medium volume object to a 3D object ……. the object disappears. This makes you despair, it is obviously an application for non-professional use
