How we picked

Each tool had to be genuinely free, export a usable file without a watermark, and get a beginner to a finished result in a few clicks.

Tip: if you want to print your text rather than post it, pick a tool that exports STL - PNG effects can't be sliced.

Disclosure: AVDEB is our own tool, so we've placed it first for convenience.
