How can I add Text?

I’m trying to make something but I need to add text to it. So can I add text? And if I can how do you do it?

Fun

Pixel animations are colorful retro fun. Make them as simple or complex as you desire. Great price for “gif animation maker” I recommend purchasing to everyone interested.

Excellent & Simple to Learn

I’m going to give this app 5 stars because of how easy it is to use. It just saved me alot of time.

Fantastic to have!

Great tool to make sprites quick and easy. The animation bit is very helpful in planning and the layer system really helps with sprite edits

My fave pixel app!

Been using sprite creator for a few years and was blown away by how easy and friendly it was! Especially for making little gifs :) i had actually stopped making pixel art for a while so imagine my surprise when the app was not only VERY updated but even friendlier 😭 thank you so much for all your hard work Skyler!!
