Every setting in the chat bubble generator changes the bubble before you download it.
The chat style draws a rounded rectangle with a short curved tail, the shape people know from messaging apps. Drag the tail to point left or right, up or down, and the chat bubble generator keeps the corners smooth and the padding even however long the message gets.
Pick blue, white, black, yellow, coral or red for the bubble and the text, choose a clean, comic, handwritten or pixel font, and set the text size from 16 to 120 pixels. An optional outline gives the text bubble maker look a drawn edge when you need one.
Need a different look? Switch the chat bubble generator to a speech balloon, a thought cloud, a shout burst, a pixel bubble or a meme bubble. Your text carries over and each shape starts with its own colours, so you can compare text bubble shapes in seconds.
Without a photo, the chat bubble generator crops the PNG around the bubble with a transparent background, ready for stories, videos and mockups. Add a photo and drag the bubble into place to download the photo with the chat bubble on it, up to 2,048 pixels on the long side.
