Overview
TextArt is a comprehensive graphic design app specializing in text customization and typography art. The app transforms text into stunning visual compositions with professional-grade editing tools, making it perfect for creating social media posts, quotes, motivational images, and personalized graphics. Built with Swift and Core Graphics, TextArt offers extensive text customization options including highlight effects, stroke outlining, gradient color fills, solid colors, image-based textures as text fills, shadow effects with adjustable blur and offset, and opacity controls. Users can layer multiple text elements on a single canvas, each with independent styling, font selection, size, rotation, and positioning. The app features four primary creation modes: Text Art for multi-layer text compositions with rich styling, Mirror Text for symmetrical reflections with gradient backgrounds, Fancy Text providing decorative Unicode styles and special characters, and My Collection for managing saved creations. The app uses Core Graphics for rendering high-quality, vector-based text that remains sharp at any resolution.
