MAKE IT YOURS Choose LED dots, big text, or a neon ribbon style. Adjust fonts, colors, text direction, and scrolling. Preview effects while you edit, or start with a ready-made template. KEEP YOUR FAVORITES Save signs to use again. Edit an existing sign or save a separate copy when you want a new version. SHOW OR SHARE Lock the full-screen controls to help prevent accidental taps. Export a complete scrolling message as a GIF or MP4 video, then save it to Photos or share the file. MORE ROOM TO CREATE On iPad and the open iPhone Duo display, preview your sign beside the editing controls. Fold or unfold Duo and keep working on the same draft. FREE TO TRY. PRO WHEN YOU WANT MORE.
