You can download the finished photo with text added and then just delete rather than sharing to your story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/app-to-add-text-to-photos#post-2895327 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 10:06:22 +0000 poppygirl15 2895327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don’t know if it’ll work for that, but I use the Word Swag app to add text to pics. I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/app-to-add-text-to-photos#post-2895307 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 21:15:07 +0000 PinkElephant 2895307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bees_knees: Thanks! This is definitely a good idea - our preschool does it...and if editing the sign I have doesn’t look how I hope, I may go this route!!</p> <p>@bhbee: thanks! I will check that out. I’ll definitely need rotation - it’s the element I think was missing from Phonto for me to do this (fit text into some of the spaces/graphics that are already on my chalkboard). I don’t mind paying for pro on an app like this that I anticipate using regularly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/app-to-add-text-to-photos#post-2895265 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 13:15:27 +0000 bhbee 2895265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Over app and it’s easy - I think it’s free (it was when I got it a while back) and there’s a fair amount that is “pro”/$ but I just use the basics. I was curious so I made a super quick one and I think it would do what you need if you played with it. I blacked out the original chalk and added the words and graphics on top. You can change fonts, colors, sizes, drag to place, add curves and rotation (because sign is not being held straight here), etc. </p> [attach=4253/19/pwnhdt.441x600.EC9D9615-5201-4A8D-89E5-AA53289E7F91.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/app-to-add-text-to-photos#post-2895250 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 11:10:16 +0000 bees_knees 2895250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This isn’t what you asked, but I purchased an editable sign on Etsy. I just use Adobe to edit it for each kid at the beginning/end of the school year, then print it out and put it in a (glassless, backless) frame. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/app-to-add-text-to-photos#post-2895247 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 10:20:44 +0000 PinkElephant 2895247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m never happy with how my kids’ back to school signs look when I write them with chalk; but I’m not willing to buy customized signs each year. I’ve heard moms say they have their kids hold a blank chalkboard sign, then add the text later with an app. Smart idea!! Anyone here do that, and have a favorite app? I’m working with signs with a few blanks to fill in, so need some flexibility with text placement.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
