RPG Dialogue Box Styles Compared
Each style borrows the general look of a classic game family.
Writing Dialogue That Fits
RPG boxes are small. Short lines read faster and look more authentic.
Original Art, Look-Alike Style
The boxes recreate the general look of these games with original pixel portraits and free pixel fonts (VT323, Press Start 2P), not the games’ own sprites or fonts. Undertale and Deltarune are trademarks of Toby Fox; Pokémon is a trademark of Nintendo.

Game Text Box Generator FAQs
Can I use the text boxes in videos and memes?
Yes, the images are yours to use in memes, videos and fan posts. The portraits and fonts are original or open-licensed.
Why is the image so small?
The box is drawn at 2× pixel scale (640 × 180) so pixels stay sharp. Scale it up with nearest-neighbor resizing to keep it crisp.
How long should a text box stay on screen in a video?
Typing time plus about 1 to 2 seconds of reading. The timer above calculates it in seconds and frames.
What font does Undertale use?
The game uses its own pixel fonts; this generator uses free look-alikes such as VT323 and Press Start 2P.
How many lines fit in a box?
Up to 3 short lines; longer dialogue reads better split across several boxes.
Can I make animated text boxes?
Export one PNG per line and use the timer above to set each clip’s length in your editor.
