Connecticut license plate generator
Type a registration, or any text, and see it on the real Connecticut license plate, letter for letter. The generator knows the 7 plate formats issued in Connecticut and tells you whether what you typed fits one. Download SVG or PNG, free; nothing you type leaves your browser.
Example: MT 76073.
For display, mock-ups, education and design. These are pictures of plates, not plates. A plate for a vehicle comes from the issuing authority (CT DMV) or a licensed plate maker, and showing a registration that was not issued to the vehicle is an offence in most places.
Private by design. The page downloads an empty plate and writes your registration into it on your device; the registration is never sent to us. Need many plates, or plates in your own app? The plates API returns every plate and its empty template for each format.

How the generator works
- Choose a country or state, then the plate: the standard plate first, then motorcycle, personalized, historic and the rest, each with the years it was issued.
- Where a plate was issued in several looks (front and rear colours, an older base), choose the design.
- Type a registration, a name or any text. It is drawn on the plate as you type, in the plate's own lettering, and shrunk to fit when it is long (24 characters at most). The generator also says whether it fits that plate's real format, the one the issuing authority publishes; tick "Only real formats" to draw real registrations only and see which plates a registration fits. Characters the plate's lettering does not have, like emoji, are left out, and the generator names them.
- Download the plate as SVG (a vector for print and design tools) or PNG (2400 pixels wide), copy a link, or copy the code to embed it on a web page.
