"How to Add Handwritten Text Written on Paper to Smartphone Images" ♩

Until now, when I added text to images, I often used apps like “Picsart” or “ibis Paint” and wrote directly on the screen with a stylus or my finger.

However, due to response issues and the difficulty of writing, I often found it challenging to write exactly as I intended...!

Therefore, the method of combining handwritten text written on paper into images is:

・You can write your everyday text just as you want!

・You can create images that resemble catchy slogans.

This is an idea that people who love editing should definitely know! *

Now, let me introduce the method.

Step 1: Write Text on Paper

First, write text on a white piece of paper with a relatively thick pen.

Step 2: Scan the Text

Use an app called "Cam Scanner" to scan the text.

Just take a photo and save it like this.

Step 3: Crop the Text

Now, this part is important.

The next app we will use is "Composite Photo Composite Studio."

There’s no Android version, but you can use background transparency apps or image cropping apps as substitutes. *

Once the app is open, load the photo of the text you just created onto a layer, then,

tap the "Cut" → "Auto Erase" button to remove the white areas around the text.

Be sure to tap and delete around the heart shape "♡" and the loop of the character "お."

This will result in a handwritten text with a transparent background!

You can either add an image to the layer right away and overlap the text,

or save just the text and merge it with another image using a different app. ♩

Please give it a try! *

Adding your handwritten text to smartphone images gives off a stylish advertisement slogan vibe and feels refreshing.

It’s easy to do with just paper, a pen, and an app, so definitely give it a try.

It might also be fun to post it on social media or include it in a profile movie (or slideshow)! ♩
