Questions

Text captions, answered.

How do customers add text?+
They open the Aa tab in the Magnet Customizer, tap the photo, and type. It's the same place they crop and filter.
Which products can have captions?+
Photo magnets, in any shape and size you sell. Puzzle Magnets and Graphic Magnets don't take captions.
Which fonts can customers use?+
Sans, serif, script, display, and mono styles, from Pacifico and Great Vibes to Cinzel and Oswald, and the list keeps growing. Each font button previews the customer's own words.
Will the text look the same when it prints?+
Yes. Captions go into the print file at 300 DPI, in the same size and spot as the preview. Before checkout, the Magnet Customizer warns if any words would be trimmed where the magnet wraps.
Does it cost extra?+
No. Text captions come with every Vixie plan.
Does it work on Shopify?+
Yes. Captions work on photo products in the Magnet Customizer, the same way they do at events and in your online store.
Can I add text to magnets myself?+
Yes. Print Studio in your dashboard lets you add text to any magnet on a sheet, starting from a Quick style if you like.
