How to use the Text tool

How to use the Text tool to create images based on text that you provide.

C
Written by Craig Wright

Use Photoroom's Text tool to turn text into stylized typography artwork, such as handwritten, neon, or 3D text. The text is generated as an image, where the words are an image layer, not a text layer. It is commonly used for creating promotional graphics and marketing graphics.
​

Examples of different text styles that the Text tool can generate.

How it works:

  1. You activate the Text tool and enter the text you want.

  2. You use the Text settings to choose a style and size.

  3. Photoroom generates 2 images containing a graphic of the words you entered.

In this article, we give an overview of the Text tool and its settings. For step-by-step instructions, see the workflow articles in the Related content section at the end.

Note: The Text tool is for generating images based on text. There is a separate text feature for adding a text layer to an image (see the articles listed in the Related content section).
