2021.07.27 published

If you're looking to add text, Phonto is highly recommended

The text input app Phonto is convenient and excellent.

I think there are many brides creating designs with Phonto by adding text to wedding paper items.

What I find great about Phonto is:

- The variety of fonts included from the start is unmatched.

- It's easy to download fonts that aren't included in the app and use them immediately.

- The ability to adjust the background, shadow, spacing, and curvature of the text down to the millimeter is a nice touch.

- You can customize colors not just with preset colors, but by entering RGB or color codes to achieve your favorite hues.

Phonto specializes in text arrangement, making it much easier to use than other image editing apps for adding text.

(2) Once you've created your desired color pattern, tap "Horizontal (C)" at the top of the screen.
