Your photo, in the exact shape of your letters

Edit fonts and size

Change the font, size, and spacing or rewrite the words after making a frame. The photo refills the new letters.

Preview before you drop

Hover a photo over the letters to see how it looks first. Drop it when you like it.

Swap the photo

Drag a different photo onto the same text to replace the one inside.

Detach image

Pull the photo out as its own image. The text stays an empty frame, ready for a new photo.

Copy style

Copy another text's font, size, and spacing and paste them straight onto your framed text.

Make text frames, crop, and detach images from the menu in the mobile editor.
