*Free. No credit card required.
Drag ’n’ drop and point ’n’ click your way to
professional-looking typography
Choose from 200+ fonts
Whether you need a bold font like Montserrat Extra Bold for memes, something clean and familiar like Roboto for body text, or something that screams high-end like Cinzel — there’s a font for you.
And if there is a font we don’t include, you can upload custom .ttf, .otf, and .woff font types.
Get fancy with text effects
Choose from our palette of popular text colors or a custom color. Play with text shadows and blur to make your text pop. Or, let your visuals share the spotlight by reducing your text’s opacity.
Adjusting text effects is all point and click — no confusing menus within menus or tutorials required.
Refine your typography
If you have an eye for typography and consider a font’s default settings a starting point — you will love this.
You can adjust letter spacing and line height for any font with a simple slider. Slide the controls left and right until you’ve achieved the look, effect, or readability you’re after.
Rotate text for something extra
Look at the images that consistently slow your scroll — sometimes the text is on an angle.
Rotating your text in Snappa is as easy as clicking ⟳ on the text you want to rotate and dragging your mouse until it’s perfect.
Add photos and graphics
Text is great but a “picture says a thousand words.” #corny
