Questions, answered
Can I create 3D typography for free?
Yes! Spline offers a free plan that includes 3D text tools, materials, and animation, so you can design typographic scenes and publish them to the web. Perfect for hero text, animated titles, and expressive brand moments.
How can I start creating 3D typography?
Getting started is easy. Add a text object, type your copy, and shape it with extrusion and bevel controls - the text stays live and editable. Then style it with materials and lighting, or remix a typography scene from the Spline Community.
What is Spline and how does it work for typography?
Spline is a real-time 3D design tool where text is a first-class object: live-editable, extrudable, and fully styleable with materials and lighting. Combined with timeline animation and events, it turns type into interactive, kinetic design.
Can I use my own fonts for 3D text?
Yes. Spline supports custom font uploads alongside a built-in font library, so your 3D type can stay perfectly on-brand. Variable weights and per-letter styling give you fine typographic control in three dimensions.
Can my 3D typography react to users on the web?
Absolutely. Using Spline's events - mouse hover, scroll, key presses, and more - letters can tilt toward the cursor, assemble on scroll, or burst apart on click. Interactive type published with Spline runs smoothly right in the browser.
Do I need coding skills to create kinetic 3D type?
No. Extrusion, materials, timeline animation, and interactions are all visual tools. When you're ready to ship, one-click web publishing and code exports make it easy to drop interactive typography into any site.
