Usage & Information

How to Use Generated Tags

Using Your Pixel Art Tags:

  • Copy or save your generated tag as a PNG image
  • Java: Place image in resource pack's textures folder, reference in font JSON file, use unicode in-game
  • Bedrock: Place in font folder glyph file, use unicode based on image position
  • Use unicode converter tool for character codes
  • Can be used in LuckPerms roles (Java plugin) with assigned unicodes

Best Practices:

  • Keep text short for better readability at small sizes
  • Use high contrast between text and background colors
  • Test your tags in-game at different GUI scales
  • Consider using shadows for better text visibility on complex backgrounds

Font Information

About the Pixel Fonts:

This tool offers 3 pixel font types based on classic bitmap patterns that have been widely used since the early 2000s. Due to their simple geometric nature and numerous independent implementations over the years, these basic letter patterns represent common typographic knowledge rather than copyrightable expression.

Available Font Types:

  • Mono (5x5): Standard monospace font, best readability
  • Medium (4x5): Slightly narrower, good balance of size and clarity
  • Compact (3x5): Smallest option, ideal for longer text or tight spaces

Technical Details:

  • Style: Monospace bitmap fonts
  • Usage: Programmatically generated images only
  • Compatibility: Perfect for pixel art projects and retro interfaces

Legal Note: The basic geometric patterns used for letter shapes represent fundamental typographic forms that are not subject to copyright protection. We use these patterns solely for generating images and do not distribute font files.
