Is the draw-with-text tool free?

Yes. It runs in your browser with no signup and no watermark. Background removal for the behind-subject effect has a small free daily allowance; drawing, shapes, fonts, the eraser and export are unlimited on the free tier.

How does text follow the line I draw?

As you drag, the tool measures the path you trace and places each letter along it, rotated to match the curve — so the text bends with your line.

How do I put text behind a person?

Turn on Text behind subject. The tool removes the background to get a cut-out of the person, then layers your text between the photo and the cut-out so it passes behind them. Adding a full-frame fill shape (spiral, waves, rings) turns this on automatically.

How do I make the spiral text effect?

In Shapes mode, open the Fill the photo row and tap Big spiral. It wraps many loops across the whole frame and auto-enables behind-subject, giving the text-spiraling-around-a-person look.

Can I erase part of the text?

Yes. Switch to the Eraser tab, set the brush size, and scrub over the letters you want gone. It erases only the text — the photo and the cut-out subject are untouched. Undo restores it.

What shapes can I use?

Heart, arc up, arc down, circle, wave, curve, star, diamond, triangle, infinity and spiral — plus full-frame Big spiral, Big waves, Serpentine and Concentric rings that wrap the whole photo.

Does it keep transparency?

Yes. If your photo is a PNG with transparency, the export stays a PNG so the transparent areas are preserved.

Draw with Text

Drag to draw a line and your text flows along it — spiral it, wrap it behind the subject, or erase the overlap.
