Frankly, PicMonkey is the easiest but doesn’t have as many options to tweak letter spacing or to add a lot of special effects. GIMP and PicMonkey work too with adding curved text on images. I’ve used all 3 and Inkscape is my personal favorite for just creating text effects. So while PicMonkey uses text along an arc the other 2 tools use text along a path, in this case along a circle.

Now that’s easy! So now I’m going to show you two more ways with free downloadable software to create curved text if you don’t want to use an online editor. It’s so easy that I can make curved text or “word circles” in about 3 minutes it takes more time to pick out the font style and color than to make the text curve around a circle. Previously I’ve demo’d the easiest low cost online curved text editor ( PicMonkey ) in my article “Word Circles – Curved Text Around Circles”. In this instance, you can have your cake and ice cream too, as the saying goes because there are choices for creating curved text and options include both online text editors as well as downloadable ones. Online Curve Text Editors vs Downloadable Curved Text Editors Note: This is a fairly long article because I list the steps for the editors (GIMP and Inkscape) however if you want the shortcut just view the videos. My goal is always to use the best editor for in the easiest and most flexible way possible. In fact, I like to use these 3 free curved text tools to make circular text designs on transparent backgrounds that go on my design which can be done with any editor I’m using! While some might not like that extra step it literally takes 2 to 3 minutes and adds a lot of flexibility. Plus, these low cost online “curve text generators” as I like to call them are so easy that anyone can do this. Since not every online editor can create curved text I wanted to mention a couple of solid choices for doing that.


A lot of DIY’ers want to create curved text for images and graphics without spending either a ridiculously amount of time or money.
