The three classic comic shapes are all here: an oval speech balloon with a curved tail, a cloud with trailing bubbles for thoughts, and a jagged burst for shouting and sound effects. The comic bubble maker draws one continuous outline around body and tail, the way comic speech bubble lettering is drawn by hand.
Comics traditionally letter dialogue in capitals, so the comic bubble maker starts with a comic font in all caps. Switch to a handwritten, clean or pixel font, set the size from 16 to 120 pixels and choose black, white, red or another text colour for a comic text bubble that matches your art.
Drag the tip of the tail onto the speaker, or set its direction and length with sliders. Thought clouds use a trail of shrinking circles instead of a pointed tail, and the comic bubble maker lets you remove the tail entirely for a plain balloon or a caption.
Fill bursts with yellow or coral, set an outline up to 16 pixels thick for a bold inked look, and put the bubble on your own panel image or keep it transparent. The comic bubble maker downloads a free PNG with nothing added to the image.
