You can do this with hookupJS for free - and then share the images on Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus and more.

Oh, and, wow. Underwhelming options. Our code is open source, free to use, no login, host on your own box & more.

Also, I fail to see a Terms of Service, only Privacy Policy, on your site. Odd. Makes me uncomfortable, honestly.

It's always a mystery to me how some stuff gets attention (like this) and other things get ignored; maybe because this, "Innovation," seems 100% aimed at making Twitter less accessible to visually impaired?

PS: we store the images we build as layers, so, we keep the text and can include it for later analysis, along with the background color used, font & more. In addition to tracking stats for you on the content you make, to see how well it performs on Facebook.

Sigh; would be cool if you'd add that to your roadmap. Or perhaps just relaunch with our code?

HookupJS sounds awesome. Having underwhelming options was completely intentional. The aim was to do ONE THING, and do it as fast and in as few steps as possible. The equally underwhelming source is actually available at http://github.com/davidadamojr/cliptext

One thing, super fast - bingo. Just wanted to say that, in terms of "end game," it fails to excite me after having worked in accessibility roles at companies large - and small. Eg, when you find out your employer got sued and lost for accessibility it feels like you failed the evolutionary test of compassion; sure, they passed the corporate, "Cost / Benefit," litmus test, but, was the work they did, "Good?"

Thank you for the compliment - I passed your link to my engineering partner, because, I'm the clueless business monkey. ;)
