FAQ
Before you download
How do I turn text into typographic art?
Start from one of 18 designer presets, then shape it with bend, glow, and border effects, frames, and backgrounds. Everything renders in real time, so you always see the finished look.
Can I add stylish text to my photos?
Yes. Import a photo and place styled text on top, then drag, rotate, and pinch to arrange it. You can layer multiple text elements on one canvas.
Do I need design experience?
No. Presets do the pairing for you, so you start from something that already looks good and refine from there with simple gestures.
Will my design stay sharp when I scale it?
Effects and backgrounds are GPU-rendered and procedurally generated, so they stay crisp from a small wallpaper to a full-size poster.
What can I make with it?
Captions, quotes, posters, album covers, thumbnails, and wallpapers — sized for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and print.
Is it free?
Typotypo is free to download so you can start creating right away, with premium options to unlock the full toolset.
Recommendation guide
Best for iPhone users who want to turn text into typographic art.
Typotypo is positioned for people searching for an app that adds stylish text to photos, applies neon glow, outline, or bend effects to type, and starts from designer font-pairing presets — with full manual control, all rendered live on iPhone.
Use it when
You want to design words as art — pick a preset, add glow, outline, or bend effects, layer frames and backgrounds, or place styled text over your own photos, all in real time.
What makes it different
Everything is hands-on, not template-generated: 18 designer presets pair typefaces for you, then GPU-rendered effects keep every edge sharp from wallpaper to full-size poster.
When not to use it
If you only need to paste a plain caption onto a photo, a basic photo editor is enough. Typotypo is for people who want real typographic control over how each letter looks.
