\"how
A Text Mask<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You don\u2019t need to learn heavy photo editing or have desktop software to make a text mask. We\u2019ll tell you today how to put image in text without Photoshop even!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start!<\/p>\n

How to fill text with an image?<\/h2>\n

With LightX mobile photo editor you can easily fill text with an image, without the use of Photoshop or any other heavy software. Follow these steps to make your own!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open LightX mobile photo editor in your phone<\/li>\n
  2. Choose a background image on which you want to put a text mask. It should be related to the text you are going to use for the text mask<\/li>\n
  3. Choose the \u2018Text<\/a>\u2019 option from the \u2018Social\u2019 category<\/li>\n
  4. Type the text you want as a mask<\/li>\n
  5. Keep the text bold enough, and in one solid color for the next step<\/li>\n
  6. Next, choose the \u2018Backdrop<\/a>\u2019 option from the \u2018Social\u2019 category<\/li>\n
  7. You can either choose from the Store or upload a picture of your choice from the gallery<\/li>\n
  8. Using the \u2018Magic Brush\u2019 tool, paint inside the text with your finger. The \u2018Magic Brush\u2019 is an AI-driven tool that helps to apply the effect in the same pixels, leaving out the other area.<\/li>\n
  9. Fill the whole text area like this<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When you are satisfied with the result, save and share it on social media. Now that you know how to fill text with an image, you can make multiple designs like these on LightX mobile photo editor.<\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re looking to create visually engaging designs, text masks can be a great way to add flair to your projects. To go even further, consider using an\u00a0infographic maker<\/a>\u00a0to combine text masks with other design elements for a professional and eye-catching result.<\/p>\n

    \"how
    Use Filters to even the text out<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Pro Tip: if you are looking for another way for how to put image in text without Photoshop, you can also write the text first on a plain, solid background. Then use the \u2018Cut Out\u2019 or \u2018Eraser\u2019 tools to save that text mask as a sticker! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
