## What is Speech Bubbles Photo Editor?

Text on Pics is the fast, fun way to add captions, speech bubbles, and eye-catching text to your photos. A full photo-text studio that's still simple enough to make a great pic in seconds.

SAY IT WITH YOUR PHOTOS
Drop text straight onto your picture, bend it along a curve, wrap it in a speech bubble, or frame it like a comic panel. Move, resize, and rotate anything with your fingers. Everything is a layer, so you can stack, reorder, and tweak until it's exactly right.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE TEXT ON PICS:
- Speech & Thought Bubbles: Point them at anyone (or anything) in your photo.
- Gorgeous Text Styles: One-tap looks with colors, gradients, outlines, and shadows — or design your own and save it for next time.
- Curved Text: Bend your words along arcs, waves, and circles.
- Fonts for Every Mood: A big collection, neatly organized by category.
- Frames & Captions: Classic caption styles and frames for meme-ready pics.
- Emoji Stickers: Drop in any emoji and make it as big as you like.
- Draw on Your Photos: Doodle right over your picture in any color.
- Real Photo Editing: Apply filters, then fine-tune brightness, contrast, warmth, and more.
- Total Control: Reorder layers anytime, and undo/redo every single step.
- High-Resolution Export: Your photos come out sharp, ready for anywhere.

FROM SNAP TO SHARE IN SECONDS
1. Pick: Choose a photo from your library or snap a new one.
2. Caption: Add text, bubbles, emoji, or a frame.
3. Style: Choose fonts and colors, or apply a whole look with one tap.
