About Vextrude 3D Text Generator
Vextrude's 3D Text Generator turns words into printable models entirely in your browser, with no account and no upload. Its standout feature is language support: it shapes 21 writing systems, including Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Cyrillic and Devanagari.
You can pick from dozens of bundled typefaces or load your own font, then set size, extrusion depth, bevel, letter spacing and line height. Text can follow an arc, wave, helix or bridge curve, and an optional base plaque turns it into a small sign. Exports include STL, 3MF and OBJ for printing, plus GLB and PNG for other uses. Material and lighting presets only change the on-screen preview, not the printed shape.
It is a good pick when you need lettering in a non-Latin script that other text tools render badly. The same site also offers a 3D QR code generator and SVG-to-3D tools.
