When we taught Snapseed for our “What does this Button Do?” show last Sunday, a viewer asked if there was a way to have text appear below a photo rather than right on it. I answered, “No” Snapseed can only edit the photo, it has no way to add captions and then display them below the photo. BUT, I kept thinking about it, and I discovered a way to add a black bottom border to the photo and then add text to that. Here are the steps:
- Open the photo in Snapseed and tap Tools, then Expand
- You should see 3 choices for the fill color: Smart, White, and Black – tap on Black
- Drag the bottom of the photo down until you have enough a black bar to contain your text
- Tap the Checkmark to complete
- Tap Tools then Text
- Double tap where the sample text appears, then tap again to type your text
- Choose your style of text (the cards icon) and choose the color (palette icon)
- Tap Checkmark, then Export/Save or Done
Neat! Thanks
This would make a great YouTube Short!
