How to generate an image with a text over it?

I want to generate an image with a text that show the score over it, something like this games when you share the score:


and this:


I appreciate any idea, thanks.

 

Create an UI Canvas and add an Image and a Text

 

But how I can convert this to png or jpg?

 

A Canvas is a GameObject, you can't convert to jpg or png. Instead you can add an image to it in order to show it in the Scene (at the position that you want).

 

I know that, but I need that the image not appear in the scene, I need a way to generate an image with the text over it without showing it.

 

I'm failing to understand what exactly you are trying to achieve? You want to create an image, not shown to the player, that has the score and the pre-defined other picture? How often do you want to generate this image? Is it on 'fail' or every frame?

Part of the reason for asking is you may be attempting to do something to achieve a goal that can be done in a much more efficient manner.

 

The best way to exactly understand what I want to do is going and download one of this games and press the share button.

Could you use the Capture Screenshot function?

Yes I know, but if you play the game not only take a screenshot, also have text like the name and the score and this doesn't appears in the game, in other words, take the screenshot add the text with the name and the best score over it and showing all this together when you decide to share.

 

You could simply create all that in the UI, display it for a single frame and take the screenshot then hide that information.

 

@absolute_disgrace Well, i have to keep searching, but thanks for your answer.

 

Researching a little bit I get the conclusion that the best way it is like @absolute_disgrace said, thanks so much.
