If you want to create eye-catching neon text designs without using complicated software, PixelLab has everything you need. In this tutorial, I’ll guide you step-by-step on how to make a 3D neon text effect directly in PixelLab — no extra apps, no Photoshop, just your phone and creativity.
Step 1: Open PixelLab and Start a New Project
Launch the PixelLab app.
Tap the “+” icon and choose “New Text.”
Type the text you want to style — short words like “NEON” or “GLOW” work best.
Step 2: Choose a Bold Font
Go to Fonts and select a bold, thick font so the glow stands out.
Fonts like Bebas Neue or Montserrat work really well for neon effects.
Step 3: Apply the 3D Effect
In the menu, find the 3D Text option.
Enable it and adjust the Depth to around 5–10 for a subtle 3D look.
Keep the Rotation straight so it looks clean.
Step 4: Add the Neon Color
Select Color and choose a bright shade — pink, blue, green, or purple are classic neon choices.
Make sure it’s vibrant so it pops against the background.
Step 5: Add the Glow
Go to Inner Shadow or Outer Glow options.
Pick the same color as your text for the glow, then adjust the Blur to around 20–30.
Increase the Opacity until the glow feels bright and visible.
Step 6: Choose a Dark Background
Neon looks best against a dark or black background.
Set the background color to black or deep navy for maximum contrast.
Step 7: Final Touches
You can add light streaks, gradients, or even a subtle lens flare for extra realism.
Adjust brightness and contrast if needed.
Final Result
You now have a stunning 3D neon text effect made entirely in PixelLab — no other apps needed. This design works perfectly for social media posts, posters, YouTube thumbnails, or digital art projects.
