Typographic effects
Turn photos into letter-built art from Effects → Text. Pack custom words into a silhouette with Effects → Text → Grammy Art, fill a portrait in type with Effects → Text → Typographic Portrait, or scatter business buzzwords with Effects → Text → Business WordArt. Render luminance as a character mosaic with Effects → Text → Character Mosaic, or stack repeated lines into a poster with Effects → Text → Typo Effect. Tune spacing, size, fonts, colors, and word lists to craft posters, album covers, and social graphics.

Frequently asked questions
What is a typographic effect?
The image is built from letters, character mosaics, word art, or type posters.
Can I choose the words that form the picture?
Some looks use your text; others build the image from characters. Check the preset you pick.
Will the tiny letters read as a message?
Treat it as art. Add a separate headline if you need a clear sentence.
Can I still crop or add a background after?
Yes. Use the result as a layer and continue designing.
