If you're looking to spruce up the picture posts on your social media accounts, Textgram has what you need. This stripped down photo editing app focuses primarily on helping you add text to exiting pictures, but the specificity of its cause may make it seem like an extraneous addition to your utilities when there are so much other editing software available on the market. But if you find yourself needing a tool that can help you spruce up the look of your social media posts, you'll find a variety of cool features built in to the Textgram experience.

In most photo editing apps, the ability to add text to existing pictures is just one component in a larger suite. In Textgram, it's the main selling point. That means that Textgram can achieve your goals if that's all you're looking for, but it's far more limited if you're trying to complete more complex editing functions. But in that goal, this app succeeds with flying colors. There's a huge amount of fonts to choose from, and the inclusion of a color wheel means that you can change your text to any color you could possibly imagine. All of the functions you'd expect are here. You can designate font size, shrink or expand the font vertically and horizontally, and move it anywhere on the photo. If you're looking to just add some text with little fuss, this could be an easier solution than pulling up a more dedicated editing tool like MS Paint or Adobe Photoshop. The one feature that makes Textgram stand apart from the competition is the inclusion of stylus support. That allows you to add free hand writing to your existing photos and create a more personalized approach for your followers. Textgram is built for ease of use, and it's designed with social media in mind. Unlike many other photo editing tools, integration with a wide range of different social media platforms is built in. If you're looking to upload your edited pictures to Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, all you have to do is link your account to the Textgram interface and click one button to automatically send your picture to your preferred platform.

While this isn't an app that offers the depth or range of more dedicated editing tools, there are a number of features available that let you make edits outside of the addition of fonts. A number of effects and filters can be added to your pictures with a single click, and there's also a rudimentary drawing tool that resembles what you'd find in MS Paint. Pictures alone are sometimes not enough to convey your message to your followers, and if you're looking for a rudimentary editing tool that puts fonts front and center, Textgram may be the right choice for you.
