Digital pictures are how most of us store our snapshots. Whilst they offer amazing convenience in the form of decreased storage space, working with them can become quite tedious for the inexperienced user.
Today our digital pictures do not simply sit in a folder for us to open and view; they are uploaded by us on numerous social networking websites and even shared via different P2P (peer-to-peer) software. Sometimes while sharing our pictures with other people over the internet, we want our snaps to convey a particular meaning – something that can be skillfully done by adding text onto them. While the tech-guys with all the know-how might consider this task to be easy, the average user may not.
For the inexperienced user, at least adding texts to images, and resizing them will no longer be a problem. Say hello to PicFont.
The screenshot pasted above shows the homepage of PicFont and makes it possible to start off right away. The first step is to upload the desired picture; the picture you want to upload can be located on your PC or even on the web, in which case you only have to provide the URL of the picture.
Being the true Spiderman fan that I am, I picked a ‘Carnage’ wallpaper to be formatted, as an example.
The first tab allows you to add text to your picture. You can do this by choosing the appropriate font size from a wide number of cool font styles. Once the font style and size is selected, the ‘Generate’ button should be clicked; the text-pasting-on process should hardly take ten seconds.
I added something Carnage would probably say here is how it turned out:
The text can also be rotated through an angle, say 90 or 270 degrees, so that it lies on either the left or right side of the picture.
Moreover, the picture can be reduced in size by 75%, 50%, and 25%. This makes resizing easier for users who are unfamiliar with the concept of pixels, and do not know how to get the exact desired dimensions.
Once you are done editing your image you can simply use the embedded code and use it on your website/blog or share it with your friends on your favorite social networking websites directly from Picfont.
Overall, PicFont accomplishes its aim for making a basic editing task simple and easy for beginners.
