Bubble letters to print, save and copy

What bubble letters are

Bubble letters are round, puffy letters that look blown up like balloons: thick strokes, soft ends and not one sharp corner. They come from New York graffiti of the early 1970s, where the writer Phase 2 is credited with the first of them, and went on to school posters, birthday cards, notebooks and stickers.

Here you get them three ways: your own words in our bubble styles as a picture, the whole alphabet to print, and letters in circles to copy and paste into a bio or a message.

Your name in bubble letters, as a PNG

Type a name or a short word in the field. Soap Bubbles, a style made only here, blows it up letter by letter, each letter a soap bubble with a rainbow film and its own shine, and Stay Weird lifts it out of a pool of melting holographic liquid. Press PNG under the one you like: the picture has a clear background, ready for Canva, Google Slides, a poster or a story, and on an iPhone it goes straight to Photos.

On a video the same letters move. In Soap Bubbles every letter is blown like a real bubble, wobbles as it floats, and the phrase pops in a chain when it ends; in Stay Weird the pool swells as each word is said. That is what these styles do as captions on your own videos.

Bubble letters to print

There are two PDFs in Letter size. In the one to color, every letter is a white bubble with a line round it and its shine left blank; in the other, the same letters come in pastel pink, blue, lemon, lilac and mint, with a dark line and a shadow under them.

Each starts with the capitals on one sheet, then the small letters and the numbers, then every letter big on a page of its own: for a bulletin board, a banner, a name on a door or a card. On A4 paper, choose “Fit to page” when you print.

Need just one? Tap it in the alphabet above: it opens big, to print alone or to save as a PNG with a clear background.

How to draw bubble letters

1. Write the word lightly in pencil, with room between the letters.
2. Draw a round line around each letter, about a finger’s width away, with no sharp corners.
3. Let the letters touch or overlap a little: bubble letters look best packed together.
4. Erase the pencil inside and go over the outline in pen.
5. Add a small oval near the top left of every letter for the shine, and a shadow on one side.
6. Color them in. To learn the shapes, trace the letters to print above.

Bubble text for a bio or a message

The letters in circles, ⓑⓤⓑⓑⓛⓔ and 🅑🅤🅑🅑🅛🅔, are characters of Unicode, so they paste wherever text goes: an Instagram or TikTok bio, a Discord name, a message. Numbers come round too, ①②③ and ❶❷❸. For softer letters with hearts and sparkles, see our cute fonts; for numbers alone, our number fonts; for a card in December, our Christmas fonts.

Bubble fonts for Word and Google Docs

To type bubble letters in a document, you need a bubble font. DynaPuff, the font of Soap Bubbles, and Bagel Fat One, that of Stay Weird, are free on Google Fonts: in Google Docs, look for them under More fonts; for Word, download them and install them first. Or skip the font and put your PNG in the document.
