Set your words on fire. Type your text and watch cinematic flames rise off the letters — pick classic orange, blue fire, toxic green, purple magic, inferno or white hot, then tune the flame height, intensity, embers, char and glow until it burns the way you want. Download it as an animated GIF, MP4 or WebM, a transparent PNG, or a crisp SVG. It runs entirely in your browser, it is free, and there is no signup and no watermark.
The fire rises out of your letterforms and is distorted by live turbulence — not a static flame texture pasted behind a font.
Classic orange, inferno red, blue fire, toxic green, purple magic and white hot — each with matched embers, glow and char tones.
Flame height, intensity, burn speed, ember count, char level, glow, heat haze, smoke, fire texture, smoke waver, letter-by-letter ignition and background.
Animated GIF and MP4 for social, transparent PNG for overlays, and SVG that stays sharp at any size.
Most fire text online is a looping video texture clipped to a font — fixed resolution, ragged edges, huge files. This one builds the fire as live vector graphics instead, the way a title sequence compositor would.
The flames are a colour ramp — white core, gold, orange, deep red, then transparent smoke — seen through a mask built from your own letterforms, so the fire rises exactly where your letters are. Waves of brightness scroll continuously upward through that mask, and the whole plume is warped by two layers of animated turbulence: a coarse one that bends the flames and a fine one that makes the edges lick and crackle. Seeded embers drift up on their own paths, and the letters themselves take a charred fill with a hot rim light.
Because it is all vector, the SVG export is a few kilobytes, animates with no JavaScript, and stays sharp on a phone and on a poster.
Classic orange is the one most people want — it reads instantly as fire and works on any dark background. Inferno pushes the same range hotter and darker, which suits horror posters, metal artwork and anything meant to feel dangerous. Blue fire reads cold and supernatural; it is the strongest choice for gaming thumbnails and sci-fi titles.
Toxic green and purple magic are fantasy colours — potion fire, cursed flames — and pair well with the blackletter font. White hot is the subtlest: mostly white and silver with a faint warm edge, closer to burning magnesium than a campfire, and the one that works best over photographs.
If the fire looks thin, raise Flame intensity before Flame height — intensity is what makes the tongues lick sideways, and height without intensity reads as steam. If the letters disappear into the flames, raise Char level: a darker letter face against bright fire is what keeps the word readable, which is why every movie poster does it.
For a still image, export PNG — the flames freeze on a defined, good-looking frame rather than wherever the animation happened to be. For video, the four-second export contains complete flame cycles, so the loop feels continuous rather than clipped.
Yes. Every style, every colour and every export is free, with no signup and no watermark. SVG and PNG are generated in your browser and are unlimited; animated video (GIF, MP4, WebM) is rendered on our server and is capped at 10 per hour per person so the queue stays fast for everyone.
Yes. Tick “Transparent background” before you export. PNG and WebM both keep the alpha channel, so the flames, embers and letters drop straight onto whatever is behind them. GIF supports only a single transparent colour, and MP4 has no alpha at all, so pick PNG or WebM if you need a clean cut-out.
Classic Blaze is a steady burn with the word standing in the fire. Inferno raises taller, fiercer flames over deeply charred letters. Blue Fire switches the whole palette to ghostly blue. Embers & Smoke dies the flames down to a smoulder with drifting sparks and smoke. Burning Reveal ignites the word from darkness, and Letter by Letter lights it up one character at a time. Molten Core fills the glyphs themselves with living, moving fire, and Wildfire pushes that to a word made entirely of flame. Smoke Wisp turns the letters into pale smoke that wavers and drifts. Comic Blaze swaps realism for flat comic-poster flames with chunky outlined letters and melting drips. Three styles are live simulations rendered in real time by your own browser: Cinematic Fire computes per-pixel shader flames on the GPU (WebGPU where available, WebGL otherwise), Pixel Inferno runs the classic arcade fire algorithm with your word as the fuel, and Ember Storm builds the word from thousands of glowing particles that tear away and reform — these three export as video and PNG rather than SVG, because there is no SVG that could contain them. Hellfire is the biggest realistic look — huge flames, heavy glow and heat haze, in a blackletter face. Every one starts from the same engine, so you can begin with a style and then change anything.
Yes. Pick the Story (1080×1920), Square (1080×1080) or Portrait (1080×1350) size before you export, and download MP4 for feed and Story posts or WebM if you need transparency in an editor. There are no usage restrictions on what you make here.
GIF is limited to 256 colours, so the smooth gradient from white core to dark smoke gets quantised and can band. For the closest match to the preview, export MP4 or WebM. If you need GIF specifically, a plain black background and slightly lower flame height give the palette fewer distinct shades to fit.
The studio offers eight display faces chosen to hold a flame — the fire is shaped by your actual letterforms, so bolder faces burn better. The engine renders your text as one piece, so accented characters and non-Latin scripts keep their correct shaping. If you need a specific typeface, the main Word Animator lets you upload your own font file and apply it to the fire styles there.
