Your words on your own pictures

Say the thing you wanted to say, set in your own colors and type, and out to your accounts by Thursday.

What it is

You write what you want to say, you choose what it sits on, and we compose the two into a finished, designed picture in your own colors and fonts. The words can sit on a flat background in your brand color, on a light or dark ground, on a photograph you already uploaded, or on a new picture made for them. Then you schedule it to the accounts you have connected, at the time you pick. That is the whole job, and most of it happens in under a minute.

Your words go on exactly as you typed them

Nothing is rewritten behind your back. The sentence that arrives on the picture is the sentence you wrote, with your spelling, your rhythm and your joke intact, because the thing drawing it is a typesetter rather than a writer. That matters more than it sounds: the reason most designed posts read like nobody wrote them is that somebody let a machine smooth the life out of a line that was fine.

It costs no credits, and that is a fact rather than a discount

Composing calls nothing that has to be paid for. It is the same renderer that draws your carousel slides, setting text you typed into type you already own, so there is no model to run and nothing to bill. Every other way to get a picture here makes one, which costs real money and is priced accordingly. This one does not, so it is free on every plan, however many you make.

You see it before you make it

Press Preview and the picture is drawn and handed back to you, not stored and not charged for. The preview and the finished picture come from the same renderer, so what you approve is what you get rather than an impression of it. Change the shape, the background, the picture underneath or a single word, and the preview clears rather than sitting there showing you something the button will no longer make.

Three shapes, and your words survive all of them

Square for feeds generally, portrait for Instagram, and a taller two by three for Pinterest. The taller shapes are the ones that get quietly cropped to a square by thumbnails, grids and previews all over the web, so on those the composition keeps every word and your mark inside the middle band that always survives. The worst thing a crop can do to your picture is show more than it had to, rather than cut your sentence in half.

A few words set apart, and an honest word about length

You can name a phrase to lift, and it is set in your accent color. If those exact words are not in your text, or are too short to lift meaningfully, the screen says so before you make anything rather than handing you a picture with nothing highlighted and no explanation. Write past about 120 characters and you are told that it has stopped reading like a card, with a shorter version offered. That shorter version is a proposal you can take or leave: it is shown, never applied, because these are your words.

Schedule it to the accounts you connected

A picture you made yourself can be sent, which used to be the one thing it could not do. Pick the accounts, write the few words that go with it, pick a time, and it goes out. A platform having a bad minute is retried rather than given up on, and a piece that truly cannot be delivered sends you an email naming the platform and the picture rather than failing where you cannot see it. The picture goes out at the shape you made it in, with no second version generated for each platform, so nothing you approved is remade on the way out.

The refusals, and why each one is there

A picture with no words to go with it is refused, because every platform rejects a wordless post and learning that hours later from the publisher is the worst possible time to learn it. Pressing Schedule twice for the same picture, the same place and the same few minutes schedules it once, because that is one intention pressed twice, while the same picture set for another day is accepted, because sending it again next week is an ordinary thing to want. And on the plan that includes a set number of posts a month, a send that would pass the limit is refused as a whole rather than partly going out, so you are never left guessing which half of it reached anybody.

Every picture lands in your library

Whatever you compose is kept with the project, where your demand page, your decks, your working app and your posts can all use it. You are making one picture, but you are also building the set of pictures the rest of your work draws on, and they all wear the same colors because they came from the same saved look.

Common questions

Does this really cost nothing?

Composing your words onto a background or onto a picture you already have is free on every plan, because it calls nothing that has to be paid for. Making a brand new picture for the words to sit on does call a model, so that one carries a price, shown on the button before you press it, with three qualities to choose from and none of them locked to a plan.

Will my words be edited?

No. They are set exactly as you typed them. If a line runs long we say so and offer a shorter version, but it is shown as a suggestion you can take or ignore, and your text is never replaced unless you press to use it.

Can I post it from here, or do I have to save it and upload it myself?

You can post it from here. Connect your accounts once, then pick the accounts and a time on the picture itself. You can also download it and post it by hand if you prefer, and downloading is always free.

What happens if a platform will not take it?

A platform having a passing bad minute is retried on its own. One that refuses for good stops trying, says so on the row in plain words, and sends you an email naming the platform and the picture, because a failure you never hear about is the same as a post you never made.

Do I need a designer?

No. The colors, the type and the layout come from the look saved on your project, the same one your page and your other posts wear, so a picture you compose in a minute matches everything else you have made.
