Effects are in the PNG, JPG and WebP files and the mockups. SVG, PDF and DXF stay single-color outlines, which is what a cutter cuts.

In short
Perspective text, also called 3D perspective text, vanishing-point text, receding text or text that recedes into the distance, is a text effect in which the word tapers on a flat plane toward a vanishing point; makers use it for movie-style titles, posters and street-sign lettering. To make perspective text online, type your text in the box above, keep the Perspective style selected and drag the Bend slider until the shape reads at a glance. It is the same shape as Free Distort in Illustrator. Download it as a transparent PNG (up to 1,600 px on its longest side on the free plan), as a cut-ready SVG that opens at its real size in Cricut Design Space and Silhouette Studio (Plus), or as a two-line CSS transform. It works with more than 1,900 Google Fonts. It is free to use, adds no watermark and does its work in your browser, so pictures, files and fonts never leave your device; the first 20 exports and share links need no sign-up, and a free account has no limit on them. The files a product is made from (cut-ready SVG and PDF, PNG past 1,600 px, designs of more than one line) come with Plus at $5 a month, after 3 trial files on a free account.
Using the Perspective style
Perspective works best on short, bold words. Start around a Bend of 0.6 and adjust until the shape reads at thumbnail size. The Horizontal and Vertical distortion sliders add a perspective taper on top, the same way Photoshop's Warp Text dialog does.
This style can be expressed as a pure CSS transform, so the code panel gives you a two-line rule.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make perspective text generator?
Type your text above, keep the Perspective style selected, and move the Bend slider. Then download the PNG, or the SVG on Plus, or copy the code.
Can I cut perspective text on a Cricut?
Yes. The SVG export is a single outlined path with a physical size in inches. Upload it in Design Space, and it appears at size and cuts exactly as previewed.
What is the Perspective warp called in Photoshop?
The same shape is Free Distort in Illustrator.
Is it free and private?
Free to use and private: everything runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded, and downloads have no watermark. The PNG is free; the cut-ready SVG is a Plus file, with trial files on a free account.
