Pixlr Express’s Text Editor completely changes how you add text to photos, giving you a wide variety of tools to insert, edit, and customize text to suit any creative need. Start by uploading your photo, then find the Text Editor on the left menu to access all text-editing features in one spot. Click "Add new text" to create a text box on your image, which you can easily resize or move to get the perfect placement. Once positioned, simply click inside the box to start typing. With drag-and-drop simplicity, the Text Editor ensures that adding and styling text is both intuitive and flexible. In a few clicks, you’ll have beautifully integrated text that complements your image seamlessly.
The Text Editor includes a diverse collection of pre-designed text styles, making it simple to find the perfect look for any type of photo. Whether you’re working on a promotional graphic, personal project, or social media post, the variety of styles provides an instant professional touch. Scroll through the library to choose a style that matches your message, click on it to place it on your photo, then change the text according to your design. Each style is crafted to enhance readability and visual appeal, so you can add a polished effect without needing advanced design skills. With this extensive selection, you’ll always find a style that fits the mood and purpose of your photo.
Bring your vision to life with fully customizable fonts. The Text Editor allows you to choose from a wide range of fonts, including classics and modern styles, and personalize each detail to suit your design. Adjust the size slider to make text bold and attention-grabbing or subtle and understated. Use line spacing and letter spacing controls to shape the flow of your words, creating anything from tight text blocks to open, airy layouts. With the “Fill” option, you can choose any color, making it easy to match your text to the tones in your photo. Alignment options help position your text precisely, giving you total layout control. This customization flexibility makes it easy to transform simple text into an expressive element in your design.
Add a creative touch to your text with curving and warping effects in the Text Editor. Curving options allow you to choose from Arc, Circle, and Half curves, letting your text follow the contours of your image. Use the “Amount” slider to control how sharply or gently your text curves. For even more customization, the Warp tool offers different shapes - such as Circular and Angular - with adjustable edge size, center size, and both horizontal and vertical offsets. These adjustments let you create text that flows with your image or stands out as a focal point, making your design feel dynamic. Ideal for logos, headers, and artistic titles, these tools bring an advanced level of style to your text that will catch anyone’s eye.
Enhance your text’s impact with shadows, backgrounds, and outlines for added depth and dimension. The Text Editor provides multiple background options - Full, Line, and Word - that allow you to highlight your text according to its size against any background for easy readability. Customize the background’s color, offset, and punch-out effect to make the text stand out. With the outline tool, you can create bold borders around your text and adjust color, size, distance, and direction to make your text pop. The shadow tool lets you control shadow color, blur, distance, direction, and opacity, creating a realistic 3D effect that lifts your text off the page. These features help your text to be unique, no matter the background or style.
