This is nice but there's actually a lot of demand for this and a lot of sites doing it already https://www.google.com/search?q=make+wordart

I wanted to make a faithful recreation of the original WordArt so I went through the various screenshots I could find and tweaked the built-in styles by eye. It's pretty fun to play with, and I didn't realise it would take me back to sitting in the ICT computer rooms at my school in the late '90s. Enjoy! And please feel free to share anything you make with me — I'd love to see. (Contact details in the help menu.)

This is so nostalgic. The shadow picker used to be half the fun. I spent more time on that than anything. Also, any plans to add more font support to this?

Love this. A great stretch goal would be the Win95 clip-art stick figures. Those are iconic.

One of the weirdest bits of 90s tech trivia: Scott Forstall, who was in charge of software at Apple when the iPhone was initially developed, when working as an Intern at Microsoft contributed to the development of WordArt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Forstall#Present
