MockoFun is a popular online design tool with strong curved text features, but it requires account creation and offers limited functionality on its free tier. The Peacock Text Designer creates curved text with an adjustable arc and downloads it as a transparent PNG — free, with no account required.

If you found MockoFun and just wanted to make curved text for a logo, thumbnail, or merch design — Peacock gets you there in under two minutes without a sign-up flow.

MockoFun Free Tier — What Requires an Account

MockoFun requires account creation to access its editor. The free tier has usage limits on downloads and access to premium elements. A Pro subscription unlocks the full tool set, including unlimited exports and premium graphics.

For users who want to create one curved text design and download it — the account creation and tier navigation adds friction before you can do the one thing you came to do.

The Peacock Text Designer has no account, no tier. Open it in a browser, type text, toggle the curve, adjust the arc, download the transparent PNG. The full workflow from open to download takes about 90 seconds.

How the Curved Text Feature Works in Peacock

  1. Type your text in the text field.
  2. Choose a font from the 17 Google Fonts.
  3. Toggle the curve switch for this text line — the text immediately curves.
  4. Adjust the arc slider — move it left for a shallow curve, right for a tight arc. The preview updates in real time.
  5. Add more lines if needed — each line has its own independent curve toggle and slider.
  6. Download the transparent PNG — the curved text saves with full transparency, ready to overlay on any design.

One line can curve upward, another downward, a third can be straight — all in the same design, all independent.

Peacock vs. MockoFun for Curved Text — What Each Does Better

Peacock is better for: Quick curved text PNG creation with no friction. Multi-line designs with independent curve settings per line. Users who want one specific feature (curved text PNG) without navigating a full design platform.

MockoFun is better for: Full design compositions where curved text is one element among many (backgrounds, shapes, graphics, photos). Users who want to do everything in one canvas — design the full graphic, not just the text element.

The practical approach for many designs: create the curved text in Peacock (fast, no account), download the transparent PNG, then bring it into Canva, Photoshop, or even MockoFun as an element in the larger composition. Use the right tool for each step.

What People Create with Curved Text PNGs

Badge and seal designs: Curved text arcing around a circle is the classic badge shape. Business logos, event badges, and certificates all use this layout. Download the curved text arc from Peacock, then combine it with a circle shape in Canva or your design tool.

Gym and sports logos: Team names curved across the top of a logo, city names arcing below — this is a standard sports logo layout. Peacock handles the text portion; combine with your graphic in an editor.

Mug and product designs: Curved text wraps naturally around circular products. Download the arc text as a transparent PNG and upload to your print-on-demand platform's design tool.

Social media headers: Curved text headings in profile banners and cover photos add visual variety to what would otherwise be flat horizontal text.

Create Curved Text PNG — No Account Needed

Open Peacock Text Designer — toggle the curve, adjust the arc, and download a transparent PNG free. No MockoFun account needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I control how much the text curves?

Yes. Each line has an arc slider that controls the degree of curvature from a slight arc to a tight circle-like curve. The preview updates in real time as you adjust the slider.

Can I curve text in a circle (360 degrees)?

Peacock supports arced text up to a significant curve but is not a full circle text tool. For text arranged in a complete circle (360 degrees), a dedicated circle text generator offers more control over that specific layout.

Does MockoFun have features Peacock does not?

Yes — MockoFun is a full design canvas with backgrounds, shapes, graphics, and photo integration. Peacock creates text-only transparent PNGs. If you need a complete design composition (not just the text element), MockoFun or Canva covers more ground.
