Custom Bookend Generator – Text & SVG Bookends

Create fully customizable bookends featuring your own text or SVG artwork.

This generator allows you to design a personalized bookend side with raised lettering or imported SVG graphics directly integrated into the structure. Whether you're creating decorative bookends for a library, bookshelf, office, gaming room, classroom, or gift, the design automatically scales and positions your content to fit the available space.

Generate either the left or right side individually, customize the dimensions, typography, colors, depth, orientation, and even import your own SVG designs for completely unique creations.

How to Use

The generator creates one bookend side at a time.

Use the Bookend Side option to choose:

• Left → Generates the left bookend
• Right → Generates the right bookend

Print both sides separately if you want a matching pair.

Text Mode

When Design Type is set to Text, the raised design is generated from custom text.

Use the * character to create multiple lines.

Examples

Single line:

READ MORE

Two lines:

READ*MORE

Three lines:

JUST*ONE*MORE

The generator automatically scales the text to fit within the available printable area.

SVG Mode

When Design Type is set to Image, the generator imports an SVG file and places it on the bookend.

You can customize:

• SVG scale
• Horizontal position
• Vertical position
• Extrusion depth
• Horizontal mirroring

This allows the creation of themed bookends featuring logos, silhouettes, characters, icons, or custom artwork.
