TextPhoto

Turn pictures into unique typography artworks made of nothing but text.

About

"A picture is worth a thousand words."

A picture might be worth a thousand words... it can also be made of a thousand words.

TextPhoto will help you with the latter. This app will transform a picture into words using your selected font. Just choose a picture, words, and a font... the app will do the rest.

Fonts

Choose from over a thousand open fonts, or provide your own TTF font. TextPhoto supports multiple languages, and it is limited entirely by the font of your choice.

Parameters

Control the result you get. By changing the parameters you can significantly change the output.

You can also apply post-processing effects, such as color enhancement and white balance if you are not planning further manual processing in Photoshop (Gimp) after.

Words

Provide up to 20 words that are used for creating your typography art.

You can also input a comma-separated list of words and split it... this will create all words at the same time.

Alpha Channel

A fully transparent background is ignored and it stays as it is. This way you can blend images, and create only a partial typography effect.
