FAQs about Speech Bubbles

What is a speech bubble?

A speech bubble is a round or similar shape next to the head of a character. Inside of the speech bubble, the character's words or thoughts are presented. That's to say, speech bubbles are used as text holders to make your characters do the talking and thinking.

What's the subject of your speech bubble?

Custom speech, thoughts, and dialogue doesn't even have to be a person. The speech bubbles are great for using in any subject - it can be your dog, a cartoon character, or even an inanimate object.

What can you put in your speech bubble?

The possibilities of the words you can put in a speech bubble are limited only by your imagination. You can show a conversation, a sound effect, or the thought of the subject, etc. Whatever the caption, you can add the speech or thought bubble overlays to your photos or videos and type away!
