Textura turns your text into an image, so you can share it where plain text isn't supported — in posts, stories and comments. Designed from the ground up to look great for everyone and to be fully accessible with VoiceOver. • Three ways to fit any text: auto-fit to a single image, automatic split into multiple images (carousel), or one long image for longer text. • Ready-made dimensions for every platform: square, portrait, story, landscape. • Display options: font, size, background color, alignment, padding. • Per-part formatting: select words or lines and make them bold, italic or colored. • Correct Greek rendering, with proper accents in every font. • Optional signature at the bottom of the image. • Save to Photos, share, and copy the text to use as alt text. Privacy: Textura collects no data. Your text and images stay on your device.
