Speech bubble maker FAQ
- Is this speech bubble maker free?
- Yes, completely free. There is no account, no watermark, and no limit on how many images you make.
- Are my images uploaded to a server?
- No. Everything happens in your browser, and your image never leaves your device.
- Which speech bubble shapes can I use?
- Six: rounded, rectangle, oval, thought (a cloud with trailing circles), burst for shouting, and whisper, which keeps a dashed edge. Each one can be filled, filled with an outline, or left as an outline with the inside transparent so the photo shows through.
- Can I point the tail at the person speaking?
- Yes. The tail pad sets eight directions, so it can point up, down, left, right, or diagonally out of any corner. Choose the middle cell for a caption box with no tail at all.
- What fonts can I use?
- Four, covering the looks people actually want on a bubble: a comic face, a casual handwritten face, a heavy impact face, and a clean sans. They are built into the page, so your download looks the same on every device.
- What image formats are supported?
- PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, AVIF, SVG, and BMP. Downloads keep the original format for PNG, JPG, and WebP; everything else is saved as PNG (animated GIFs get a single frame).
- Does it work on my phone?
- Yes. Drag the bubble with one finger, pull any corner handle to resize it, and type into the text box below the image.
