Tips for the best result
- Keep text inside the middle 80% of a 9:16 video — apps cover the edges with buttons.
- The background box keeps text readable over busy footage.
- Size is relative to the video height, so it looks the same at any resolution.
Add text — FAQ
Can I add my Instagram handle?
Yes — type it and place it in any corner. It stays readable on any background with the box option.
Can I add subtitles that change over time?
The text stays on for the whole video. For timed subtitles, split the video and caption each part.
Does it support emoji?
Yes — emoji are drawn in colour, just like in the preview.
Which font is used?
A clean, modern sans-serif (Inter) in regular or bold.
