Awesome Text Effect Prompts

Copy-paste prompts for AI text effects — neon, chrome, liquid glass, ink brush, pixel art, pop art, Art Deco and more — with a {{TEXT}} placeholder for your own words.

Every prompt here comes from a style on FontVibe, rewritten so it works on its own in a general image model, and then actually run on one before it was allowed in. Prompts that didn't hold up on the general model were left out and are listed below, rather than published and hoped for.

  129   styles published, each with a standalone prompt tested on a general image model
    5   categories
    6   languages for names and descriptions (en · ja · zh · es · pt · de)
    4   styles on FontVibe left out for trademark reasons
    5   styles left out because their standalone prompt failed the test

Honest note: results are best on FontVibe. These prompts carry a style's material, colour, lighting and scene. On fontvibe.ai the same style is also paired with a real font description, a font reference image that pins down the letter shapes, and the image model that style was tuned on. A general model gets the look and the mood, but draws its own letters — and on long phrases it misspells sooner. If you need the exact letterforms, or more than a word or two, use the "Try it" link.

Use it

1. Open a style below and copy its Standalone prompt.
2. Replace {{TEXT}} with your words. Short is safest: 1–3 words.
3. Paste it into any text-to-image model.

Render the text "{{TEXT}}" exactly as written, character by character. The letters are formed from
real bent glass neon tubes complete with visible tube brackets, mounting hardware ...

As data:

npm i text-effect-prompts        # or: npx text-effect-prompts neon-glow "OPEN LATE"
pip install text-effect-prompts  # or: python -m text_effect_prompts neon-glow "OPEN LATE"

const tep = require('text-effect-prompts')
tep.prompt('neon-glow', 'OPEN LATE')          // the prompt with your words filled in
tep.search('ネオン')                            // names & descriptions in en · ja · zh · es · pt · de
tep.list({ category: 'effects' })

import text_effect_prompts as tep
tep.prompt("neon-glow", "OPEN LATE")
tep.search("ネオン")
tep.list_styles(category="effects")

import json
styles = json.load(open("index.json", encoding="utf-8"))["styles"]
p = next(s for s in styles if s["slug"] == "neon-glow")["prompt"].replace("{{TEXT}}", "OPEN LATE")

Each style page in prompts/ carries:

• Standalone prompt — self-contained, {{TEXT}} placeholder, tested.
• Original FontVibe style layer — the exact text FontVibe uses, for people who want to see how the site builds its prompts. It is not a complete prompt on its own (see below).
• Examples made on FontVibe, linked to their pages, and tips.
• Front-matter with names and descriptions in six languages, tags, the test record, and links.

How the prompts were made and tested

1. Source. Every style's layer, names, descriptions and example works come from FontVibe's public API. scripts/export.py rebuilds this whole repository from it.
2. Trademark screen. Styles whose identity depends on a brand, franchise or real person were left out entirely. In the rest, mentions of brands, franchises and real people were rewritten into plain descriptions (e.g. a named pop artist → "classic 1960s comic-panel pop art"). Every exclusion and every rewrite, with its reason, is in data/curation.json.
3. Standalone rewrite. FontVibe's style layer is written to sit next to a font in FontVibe's own pipeline, so it says things like "when the chosen font carries its own treatment, that font's letterform shapes take priority". An LLM rewrote each layer into a self-contained prompt with those pipeline instructions removed and the defaults stated directly (scripts/draft_standalone.py); the drafts were then checked mechanically for leftover pipeline wording and denylisted terms.
4. Test on a general model. Each standalone prompt was rendered on Google's gemini-2.5-flash-image with a short sample word (scripts/test_prompts.py), at most two attempts per style. Every image was then looked at side by side with the FontVibe preview — by an AI assistant (Claude) working for us, not by an automatic score — and passed only if the words were legible and spelled right and the image was recognisably the same style. Anything else (a swapped letter, an added accent, a duplicated word, stray gibberish text) was a fail. The result, model and date are in each page's front-matter and in data/tests.json.
5. Verification. scripts/verify.py (stdlib only) checks that every number in this README matches the data, that every published style has a passed test, that no denylisted term survives in any published file, and that the links answer.

A pass means "this prompt produced a correct, on-style image on that model on that day" — not that it will every time. Image models are stochastic, and other models will differ.

Left out after testing

Style	Try it on FontVibe	Why the standalone prompt was left out
coquette_christmas	coquette-christmas	Both attempts rendered 'NOËL' instead of 'NOEL' (added a diaeresis).
floral	floral	Both attempts: flowers cover the letters and the word is not reliably readable.
romantic_him	romantic-him	Both attempts: legible, but brass letters on a wood panel instead of stitched leather — not recognisably this style.
spring_holiday	spring-holiday	Both attempts: letters built from flowers; the word is barely readable.
vintage_christmas	vintage-christmas	Both attempts rendered 'NOËL' instead of 'NOEL' (added a diaeresis).

These styles still work on FontVibe — they just didn't survive without FontVibe's font pipeline, so a standalone prompt for them would have been a promise we couldn't keep.

In addition, styles whose identity depends on a brand, franchise or real person were left out before testing; data/curation.json lists them with the reason for each.

Languages

Names and descriptions are FontVibe's own translations, not machine-translated for this repo. Where a translation would have carried a brand name it was dropped instead of rewritten, so a few fields are empty. Styles with a non-empty field, per language:

A few things worth saying plainly:

• Please link the site, not just this repo. Each style's page on fontvibe.ai is where it can be tried with your own words and real fonts — that's what your readers will actually find useful. This repo is the raw material behind it.
• Add rel="nofollow" if you prefer. It's your page; we're not asking you to pass ranking signals, and we'd rather you credit us with a nofollow link than not credit us at all.
• A link is not strictly required — CC BY's own words are "to the extent reasonably practicable". In a printed piece or a terminal app, plain text is fine.
• This is about republishing the prompts or data. We don't ask for credit on the images you make with them (though we're always glad to see them).

Contributing

Ran a prompt on another model? Open an issue with the model name and the result — pass or fail. That's the most useful thing anyone can add here. Found a brand or a real person's name that slipped through? Same place; it's a bug.
