What is a Text Box Generator?

With this online tool, you can add a frame around any text. The frame is made out of ASCII and Unicode characters and to draw it, the program computes the bounding box that surrounds the entire input text. The input text can be just a single letter or a digit, a word, a quote, a paragraph of text, or even a vertical list. In the "Box Style" option, you can choose from several different box styles. For example, the "ASCII Box with Corners" style uses the simplest characters available on any keyboard, such as "+" for corners, "-" for horizontal lines, and "|" for vertical lines. The "Unicode Box with Borders" style uses a continuous border line that's only found on modern computers, and the "Unicode Thick Box" style uses filled block elements for the border. You can also create your own unique box style. To do this, switch to the "Custom" mode and in the options next to it, set the eight symbols that form the box. You can separately customize the top, bottom, left, and right borders, as well as the top-left, top-right, bottom-left-, and bottom-right corners of the box. By default, the box will fit around the text as tightly as possible but to make it looser, you can add padding between the text and the edges of the box. The "Vertical Padding" option adds empty space above and below the text, and the "Horizontal Padding" option adds extra space to the left and right sides of the text. The padding area is usually filled with regular space characters, but if necessary, you can set other symbols to fill the background area inside the box via the "Padding Fill Character" option. If the input text has more than one line, then you can choose how many boxes to draw for your text. For example, you can select the "One Box for All Text" mode and draw one big box around all lines of text. Or you can switch to the "Box for Each Line" mode and draw a border around each individual line of the text. Or you can select the "Box for Each Paragraph" mode and create boxes around individual text paragraphs. Textabulous!

Put a Quote in the ASCII Box

In this example, we draw an ASCII box around our favorite quote by Seneca. We use one of the predefined styles listed in the options, called "ASCII Box with Corners", which uses the most primitive characters for the box's border.

Draw a Rounded Box Around Each Line

In this example, we switch to the multiline mode and draw four boxes at once for the four seasons of the year. We use the "Unicode Rounded Box" style which gives a button effect for each text string. We also add 5 padding characters to the left and right sides of the text.

Custom Styled Text Box

In this example, we create a custom box style to use around an inspirational message. We select the "Custom" option and specify a sequence of triangles "▸◂" for the top and bottom borders of the box, and an hourglass symbol "⧗" for the sides of the box. We also add vertical and horizontal padding to the text and fill the empty space with a dotted circle mark "◌".

Life is but a dream
⧗▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸⧗ ⧗◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌⧗ ⧗◌◌◌Life is but a dream◌◌◌⧗ ⧗◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌◌⧗ ⧗▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸⧗

Wrap Song Lyrics in a Box

In the input of this example, we load the lyrics of our favorite childhood song from the cartoon Chip and Dale. To wrap every paragraph of two lines of the song in individual boxes, we activate the "Box for Each Paragraph" option. This mode splits the input lyrics individual paragraphs and adds a box around each one. We decorate the verses with the "Unicode Box with Borders" and add a little bit of horizontal and vertical padding.

One Text – One Box

In this example, we create a custom wrapper for our short poem. To have all the lines of the poem in a single box, we select the "One Box for All Text" mode. For the walls of the box, we choose the arrow symbols "→↓←↑", and put them in the top, right, bottom, and left options, so that they create a clockwise circle. We also add 6 spaces horizontally and 1 extra line vertically to make the poem airier.

The sun is shining brightly in the sky. It's a beautiful day today.
↑→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ The sun ↓ ↑ is shining ↓ ↑ brightly ↓ ↑ in the sky. ↓ ↑ It's a ↓ ↑ beautiful ↓ ↑ day today. ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←↓
