Questions
How do I make the Snapchat caption look on a photo?
Upload the photo here and type the caption. The default look is the Snapchat bar: white text on a translucent black band the full width of the frame. Drag it into place and download.
What font does Snapchat use for captions?
Snapchat's classic caption is set in Avenir Next. This tool uses Avenir Next where the device has it, and Helvetica Neue where it does not, which is what Snapchat itself falls back to.
Why do people post Snapchat-style captions on TikTok?
The bar reads like a screenshot of a real Snap, which makes a slide look like a friend's story rather than an ad. It is one of the most copied caption styles in TikTok photo posts.
What size is a Snapchat image?
Snapchat fills a 9:16 phone screen, and 1080 by 1920 pixels is the size that fits it and TikTok, Reels and Shorts without cropping. Every download here is that size.
Is this Snapchat text generator free?
Yes. No sign-up, no watermark, no download limit. The image is drawn in your browser and never uploaded anywhere.
