## What is Photo & Video Text?

Draw a line. Your text follows it.

Kerve puts words on any curve you can draw with a finger — over your own photo, or over
video, where the letters travel along the line as the clip plays. Change your mind and
drag the line again: the letters reflow instantly, correctly spaced, never upside down.

WHY IT LOOKS RIGHT
Kerve doesn't rotate letters one at a time. It measures the real arc length of your curve
and sets each glyph by its own width, the way a typesetter would — so tracking stays even
on a tight bend and text on the underside of a circle reads the right way up.

DRAW IT, OR START FROM ONE
• Draw freehand and Kerve smooths the shake out of it
• Snap a rough loop to a perfect circle, arc or wave
• Or pick from 80 ready-made lines: arches, rings, badges, spirals, frames, ribbons
• 28 Starting Looks apply a complete line-and-type treatment to your picture in one tap

MAKE IT YOURS
• 25 motion and styling effects — neon, pop, bounce, typewriter, draw-on, rolling ring
• Gradients, outlines, shadows and per-letter colour
• Layer several lines of text on one piece, each with its own curve and style
• Full Vietnamese support, with diacritics that sit correctly on a curve
• 89 typefaces to download inside the app, all open-licence, plus every font on your
  device — or import your own

VIDEO, NOT JUST STILLS
Motion Path sends your words travelling along the curve while the video plays. No
keyframes to place, no timeline to learn. Trim, set an in and out point, and export.

EXPORT
PNG, JPEG, HEIF and animated GIF for stills; MP4 for video. Transparent background when
you need it. Save to Photos or to Files. There is never a watermark, on any plan.

WORKS ON iPAD
A real iPad layout, not a stretched phone screen: a tool rail on the left, your artboard
in the middle, and a persistent inspector on the right. Apple Pencil pressure sets stroke
weight, and ⌘Z / ⌘D work the way you expect.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your photos and videos are processed entirely on your device and are never uploaded.
Kerve has no account and no sign-in. It asks to add to Photos only when you first save,
and it can never read your library.

FREE AND PRO
Everything is free to use: drawing, video, Motion Path, the animation timeline, 9 of the
25 effects, and one export a day at up to 2× — with no watermark.

Kerve Pro adds:
• All 25 effects, including the 16 Pro ones
• Export as often as you like, at up to 4× resolution
• Import your own fonts, and the full type catalogue
• No ads
