You will have the option to load a new image or use a plain image. If I am adding text onto a photo or a look I have done I will click the top one, Load new image from device, circled below.

Step three:

Much wow. My image has loaded, we are ready to add the text! You will see at the top a pen or pencil… I don’t know. Some type of writing utensil. Click that little guy.

Once you click the little writing utensil you will see this little pop up. This is where you will type your stuff and things. You can click the “Align: Left” to change how the text is (left, right, center)

  • Text: change your text
  • Font: change your font
  • Size: change your font size
  • Tilt: change the text (vertical, horizontal, at an angle etc)
  • Move: self explanatory
  • We are going to click STYLE, this is where things get zazzy…

Step five: 

The first thing we are changing under style is the text color. You can scroll through the colors. Much options. Much excite.

Once you have your color picked out, we are going to click where it says “TEXT COLOR” this is going to pull up a menu like so…

We are going to select Stroke, this is going to add some fanciness around your lettering.

Step six:

Fanciness. Chose your color first, make sure it is different from the text color. We are adding this to make the text stand out. Example: White text with Black Stroke. You don’t want to hurt the eyes.

I hope this helps! This is the kind of thing that you will have to play around with because there is so much you can do within this app. The “text border” was my most common question so that is what I addressed. If you have more questions comment so I can help you out!
