Good to know: our styles were drawn to match each other. Every Chunky, Thin and Outline style is the same size and sits on the same line. Letters from other designers may not match ours exactly. If they look too big or too small next to ours, click Check letters next to the pack and change Size of this style.

Questions?

Do I need to install anything?

No. WhimsyWord works right in your web browser, on a computer, tablet or phone. A computer is easiest for bigger projects.

Is WhimsyWord free?

You can try everything free. Free downloads have faint WhimsyWord marks. Pay once to unlock clean downloads forever.

What kind of file do I get?

Download PNG gives you a transparent PNG at 300 dpi, ready for shirts, mugs, tumblers, stickers and print and cut. Under More ways to save you can also pick JPG, PDF or SVG, a white or colored background, and a smaller or larger size.

Can I use it with my cutting machine?

Yes. Use the PNG with your machine's print then cut. The letters are pictures, not cut lines, so the SVG is not a cut file.

Can I make a sticker PNG?

Yes. In step 3, pick a Sticker border (Thin, Medium or Thick) and any color, then download the PNG. The outside edge of the border is the cut line for print and cut. To make a sticker from your own picture, use Make any PNG a sticker.

Can I change the colors?

Yes, in the styles marked Pick Your Colors, and the outline color in the Outline styles. To give one letter its own color, tap that letter in your design.

Can I fill the letters with a photo or pattern?

Yes, with empty letters like the Outline styles. Open Make your own PNG letters, choose a photo or wallpaper, move it where you like, then click SNAP. Filled-in letters have no room for a photo.

Can I mix styles in one name?

Yes. Turn on Mix several styles, then pick One after another or Random mix. Click Chunky, Thin or Outline first to mix just that kind. In Random mix, lock the letters you love and click Mix again to re-roll the rest. You can also tap any letter to change just that one.

Which letters and symbols are included?

Every style has A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9, & ! ? . , ' - and a heart ♥ and star ★.

How do I type a heart or a star?

Type <3 for a heart and * for a star. Heart and star emojis from your phone work too.

Can I make a lot of names at once?

Yes. Click Make a list of names at once, type or paste your names, one on each line, and you get them all in one zip file.

Can I use alphabet packs I bought from other designers?

Yes. Add them under Your own letters and mix them with ours. They stay on your computer: nothing is uploaded. Their sizes may not match ours exactly, so use Check letters or Size to even them out. Check letters also shows which letters, numbers and symbols a pack has, and lets you fix which letter each picture is. Anything a pack doesn't have comes from another style. Follow the license that came with those letters.

Will my design still be here when I come back?

Only your last one. WhimsyWord doesn't keep a gallery of old designs, so save each PNG to your computer.

How do I unlock it on another computer?

Open WhimsyWord there, click Unlock WhimsyWord, and paste the same unlock code.

Can I sell what I make?

Yes. You can sell products made with your WhimsyWord designs, like shirts, mugs, tumblers, signs and stickers, and finished name designs. You can't sell or share the letters themselves as an alphabet set, clipart or font.

Can I get a refund?

WhimsyWord is a digital product, so all sales are final. If something isn't working, contact us and we'll help.

Will there be new styles?

Yes! New letter styles are on the way. Some will be free updates, and some may be sold as separate packs.

Check the letters

Each picture should have the right letter under it. Fix any that are wrong. Leave a box empty to skip that picture. If two pictures have the same letter, the second one becomes an "Other version". For a heart, type <3.
