Why it matters

Get the shortest path working before optimizing.

Put the punch word on the last line.

Step by step

  1. Confirm the use/platform size; don't grab random web images.
  2. Pick a 1:1 or platform ratio and keep text to 2-3 lines.
  3. Use a high-contrast outline so it reads on a phone.
  4. Export PNG and check text/faces/edges.
  5. Confirm image/likeness rights before publishing.

Common mistakes

  • Text too long to read on a phone.
  • White text without an outline disappears on bright backgrounds.
  • Using unlicensed images/people for commercial content.
  • Cropping a watermark/logo and publishing anyway.

Checklist

  • Size/ratio match the platform.
  • Text is 2-3 lines with a clear outline.
  • Image/likeness rights are cleared.
  • No watermark/private data.
  • Export PNG and spot-check.

Key facts

  • Put the punch word on the last line.
  • Keep bottom text off the very edge.
