## Questions

### Will my photo be uploaded?

No. The text is drawn on a canvas in your browser, and the photo never leaves your device.

### What size is the saved photo?

The original size of the photo, so the text stays sharp. On a phone that cannot hold a very large photo, it is reduced to fit, and the tool says so.

### Which format do I get?

JPG by default. A photo with transparent areas is saved as PNG, so the transparency stays. You can switch between JPG and PNG.

### Which font does the text use?

Recursive, the font this site uses, in bold or regular. Lines wrap to the width of the photo, and you can start a new line with Enter.
