Need to change the aspect?

If you just need to display some text, slap it in here.

Maybe set some extra options if you need to:

Pick a font:

Text Color:

Background Color:

Need an outline?: Size (px):

Or maybe a drop shadow?: Size (offset x offset y blur radius):

If you want an image displayed instead, or behind the text, just pop that URL in here, and away we go.

And maybe adjust some of the display options on how the image fits...

About This Tool

Really there isn't much too it. I was using a tool that wouldn't quite do all I wanted, so I slapped this together real quick. Yes, it say copyright 2025 at the moment, but most likely I'll end up MIT licensing it later and releasing the source on GitHub for other folk to play with.

With this you can setup a background using your monitor for shooting video - I use a multi-monitor setup, so I set one monitor to this page and throw a message up on there. Same on the other monitor, but with different text or maybe a graphic.

The tool does save a certain amount of data in local storage so you don't have to reset it every time you load the page.

There's more stuff I want to do with it, but this is the core functionality I wanted for now.

Enjoy!

Feature Requests & Contact!

I'm gonna do something really wild with feature requests and contact information. It should be fairly easy to hunt me down - but if you're in a hurry and want to ask for a feature or something: tip me for the contact.

Seriously, so many contact forms and email links are a wonderland for spammers to bug the heck outta me, so if you're really wanting a new feature: tip me a buck or two and I'll get back to you with my contact info!
