# Labelmaker
[Labelmaker](https://labelmaker.xyz) is a simple web tool for generating text-based images, perfect for creating [decals](https://kb.tabletopsimulator.com/game-tools/decal-tool/) in [Tabletop Simulator](https://www.tabletopsimulator.com/). Just append your desired text to `labelmaker.xyz/` and Labelmaker will return an image, no design tools required! A few options are available via query string parameters: font, color, outline, and size. The homepage offers a form to make things a bit easier.
