User Reviews:

I'm really surprised that there are so few reviews for this app. I've owned this app 12+ years and I still use it several times a week to mess around on and make cool picture quotes. Prior to all the latest updates, you were only able to use a 1:1 ratio which was just a boring square. Now you are able to choose from various ratio sizes and make the picture fit to your chosen size. There's also a ton more fonts to choose from - and the best part that I LOVE about this app, is that you can add your own fonts to it! Just go to any free font website, download the font of your choice, and then click on the saved download. It will give you the option to click on the app when the window pops up and it ask if you would like to download it to Phonto and then that's it! Super easy and an endless amount of free fonts are out there. I also love the fact that you can easily delete the fonts you don't want anymore because sometimes I download fonts that turn out to be not what I expected and I am able to simply swipe left on the font and it deletes it instantly. I highly recommend this app. It allows so many options to choose from, yet it's all in a simple type of platform. It takes no time before you are able to pick it up.

Conclusion:

Incorporating Phonto into your digital creative process allows for a richer experience in photo editing. The range of features available ensures that users can achieve the desired results, making it an essential app for anyone looking to add text to their images effectively.
