Fit

What it suits and where it falls short

You type

One photo, a dark fade and a headline over it

Best for: Strong single photos where the picture carries the story.

Works well for

  • Portraits and close-ups
  • City and landscape shots with a calm lower part
  • Short headlines
  • Story covers at 9:16

Watch out for

  • A bright or busy lower part of the photo makes text harder to read; the tool then darkens the fade, which hides more of the photo.
  • At 4:5, headlines up to about 65 characters are set at full size; 200 characters run to 7 lines over the lower part of the photo.
  • Anything important at the bottom of the photo sits under the text: drag the photo up.
