Phonto - Text on Photos

I bought the Paid version to get rid of the ads, and because I found that I was using it more and more because it is easy and does what I want. I would love to see an option for persistsnt sorting, so when I open a Pic in a folder & sort by new, the next Pics would also be sorted by new. Also, a way to change the default Save location would be great. And a way to rotate text in 45° or 90° increments would be nice, too. Are you still updating this app?

This is a fantastic app that does what it should do and has so many font and other visual options to help get the look and purpose I need! And it's so easy and direct to use! Never had a problem with it! Thanks!! / UPDATE (2025): First review up there was 4 years ago. I had loved this app. Now it's gone from five stars to one. I cannot save images after adding watermark. Error message pops up instead. I have to screenshot page and then crop it in order to save image. What happened to this app??

I've used this app for 10 years, it's the best app for fonts, adding text to photos, making memes, making your own flyers or logos or anything you want to add text or words to. It has tons of really good fonts, for real, like actual good ones, and you can add fonts really easy. I truly love this app, I redownload it every time I get a new phone, no lie.

I loved this App, but it lost a few things. For one, you used to be able to add photos and had the choice for them to appear as any letter of the alphabet and a multitude of shapes. That was so cool. I made a lot of creative arts this way, but no longer. There were once templates, filters, more fonts. WTH?

If you're looking for a basic, free watermarking app, this works. There are a variety of fonts & color options, the basic necessities. The Android version has none of the IOS features that would make it worth using or paying for anything. I wouldn't spend money on any of the in-app purchases when there are so many high-quality, free options on other apps like Photofy. Photofy also allows you to edit pictures and fade your backgrounds for free.

Free! And the ads don't bother me at all-- It's a welcome pause. By the way I do use it on an Android and it works very well. I particularly use for adding text. Really like the free font selection and colors choices, and that I could outline them or add shadows It's really quite perfect. Wish it had a way to add a sheer text box. But appreciate nonetheless.

This app is a great tool for creating simplistic thumbnails for YouTube or just creating memes for your friends. You can import any font you've downloaded and use it. I gave it 4 stars because while your able to save edits and return to them later, there is no auto save feature which means you'll have to remember to save your image as a project before you leave the app. Also, I've not seen a way to auto center text, which can be a bit annoying. It is a great app for being free and I'm happy!

It's a great app to use for writing any word out on any photo in different styles and different color as well. There's a lot of styles to choose from, print, cursive, bold, but they all have their own unique name. You can also increase or decrease words and rotate. And best of all you can add pictures inside of a of a picture or on pictures basically put 4 pictures in one picture or more.

It's only been installed less than a minute but already I can tell you Phonto is the perfect go-to text tool. Simple and Fast. Nice easy to read fonts in a variety of legible typefaces for any occasion. Super Easy controls. You can even apply a color pattern. But honestly, you should hate the ads and just buy the app. That's exactly what I did. I know I'll be using this app a lot.

The app is cool, but would be cooler with more customizable color and blurring options, would be cool if when you blur the shadow behind a stroke, the shadow didn't dim in appearance, and please, give me the option to get out of dark mode. This is the only app I use with a white background. Because I use a black background for my text. This is very hard to see with my astigmatism.

It works great for putting text on photos, but what's even cooler, in my opinion, is that I can put another image into the photo I'm editing. Then easily move the inserted image around on the photo, and reduce, or increase its size to fit anywhere on the photoll. Phonto, has the easiest to use tools. I like to mix reality, and make believe in photos. Sometimes my avatar wears a T-shirt with an image of me on it. Beneath the photo it reads, The Real Me. I thought it was clever, LOL.

Perfect! I didn't know I could pay for the ad free version until today and immediately purchased it and now I'm writing this! This is genuinely the best experience with adding text to pictures. The controls are simple AF and I crank out memes like it was my job!! The font collection is excellent as well, plus the amount of details you can change.....I will LITERALLY never use another app for text, this is the one. Like stop looking, it does NOT get any better than this I assure you!!!

This is exactly what I need to edit photos, their fonts make everything just so pretty! There's the problem that they sometimes don't fit and get cut in half but after that the app is great! Just be careful if you try to use a complicated or big font as it isn't really kind with those. Would consider giving 5 full stars if that problem was fixed tho.

Great! Until recently... Don't know what happened but in the last few days, it only gives me 3 album options to choose from to edit. Phonto used to access my entire phone album but now I'd have to search by date! And there's very few settings to check to try and fix this, if at all. I uninstalled it then reinstalled it but no dice. It's basically now unusable.

A no learning curve, text with background color, and precision size and placement. And Russian keyboard friendly. What's not to like??? By far the easiest way to make an address label or business card, or drop text on pictures and photos. And if you want to work from a full page blank image simply screen capture a blank page and load it into the app as if from the gallery.

I think this is probably the best FREE “text over image” app out there. You can use your own images, and you can use your own font collection (although it comes with a very nice collection of fonts). Several improvements could be made; but, the app is far superior to others and deserves the five stars I gave it.

This is actually a REALLY good text editing app!! It has simple controls that allow for both precision and accuracy in text placement, and a bunch of non-obscure fonts, (including the wii sports font.) The ads aren't super in the way, only showing up after you're done with a project or as a small banner. I fully reccomend it! :D

I love this app, but one suggestion to make it better ? I would ask that you make it possible to add a photo from camera roll to the color options and background options. And possibly a bevel and emboss options, mainly the photos though ! Like what photoshop on the PC is capable of doing. Sadly, no apps, including photoshop are able to do this on a mobile phone and it'd be super convenient if it could!!! Then I'd give 5 stars!

I've used this app for quite a while, both on my old iPhone and on my current Android. The Android version DOES NOT have the capability to take pictures in the app like the Apple version; instead, you have to take a picture with your phone's camera, then open the app and select the image you want to write on/edit, which takes more time and is kind of annoying. Don't get me wrong though, I use it for "watermarking" all of my instagram pictures and it does the job well.

I've always loved this app! It's my go-to for adding text to everything! I still like it but ever since I got a new phone, not only did I lose the hundreds of fonts that I've downloaded but also all of the drafts I've had saved. And I paid for the ad free version on my old phone but that didn't transfer over so I had to pay for it all over again. Which isn't a huge deal but I just wish I would have been able to retrieve my lost fonts and drafts.
