How to Add Text in a Snap (Photo/Video)
Answer: Launch the Snapchat app and create or upload a Snap. During editing, tap “T” in top-right corner and type text, then tap “done”.
However, that’s method 1. There’s another way afterwards!
Method #1: Within Snapchat
- Upload/Take a Snap
- Tap the “T” icon (top-right corner)
- Type in some text
- Hit “done” on your keyboard
Just that easy!
You can add as much text as you need per Snap.
Method #2: Using SendShort
When thinking of text, you’re probably associating subtitles/captions as well — and SendShort helps you add this style of text to Snaps for free:
- Create a free SendShort account
- Upload your Snap
- Add text: fancy subtitles or any other text
- Hit “Export“
- Upload & Publish on Snapchat
Above you can see all the subtitles editing options. SendShort gives you so many options!
How to Remove Text off a Snap
Answer: To delete text off a Snap, simply find it in your gallery and open it in the editor. After tapping the “T” icon, select text text and delete it.
- Launch the SnapChat app
- Swipe up
- Find & Tap the Snap with the text
- Tap “T” (top-right corner)
- Select all the text
- Delete it
Yes, this works for older Snaps as well — not just for those which you’ve just create and/or saved.
