The Problem

Adding good-looking text to a photo — for a quote, a story, an invitation — usually means wrestling with a desktop design tool. Most phone apps offer a handful of stiff fonts and call it a day.

The Solution

TextArt makes typography the point. Hundreds of fonts, adjustable styles, colors, shadows and backgrounds, plus ready-made templates, let anyone lay expressive text over a photo and export a polished graphic in seconds — no design background needed.

Technology Used

  • Platform: Native iOS (Swift)
  • Type: Core Text / Core Graphics for crisp, resolution-independent text
  • Rendering: Metal-accelerated compositing for live edits
  • Library: A large curated catalogue of fonts, styles, and templates
