transform text to image

[Joy]

Hi,
a weird question: is it possible to transform a text into a picture ? maybe not via applescript, but with shell ?

Hello Jo!

It is, and it is done via either Image Events, Sips, something else, or ImageMagick. There was a post here describing it, within the last four months, so happy searching!

thanks mate. I did a search, but only superficially. I’ll do a closer look.

There’s also an Automator action called Create Banner Image from Text.

HI Joy,

What text are you trying to convert to an image?

HI Joy,

What text are you trying to convert to an image?

Hi there,
i want to convert mixed fonts and phrases into a JPG image, by user input and via dialog box.
Fonts types can be randomly chosen from my user font library.

Yes. I think it won’t be that easy to find, but a user needing help with it, described the whole process.

Good Luck!
