What Fancy Text on Photos does

  • Layer text on a photo

    On Windows, add text layers to a photo or a blank canvas. Each line stays its own editable layer.

  • Fill letters with a texture

    Fill the letters with a bundled texture, such as wood grain or stone.

  • Add a shadow behind the text

    Turn on a shadow and set its blur and offset.

  • Curve text onto an arc

    On Mac, curve the baseline onto an arc and flip it to the other side.

  • Save a PNG at full size

    Save a PNG at the photo's own pixel size, with no watermark.
