The craft of comic book lettering
Good comic book lettering guides the reader’s eye through a page. That means balloons placed in reading order, tails that point clearly to who is speaking, captions that set the scene, and sound effects that add energy without covering the art. LetterMyComic is built around that craft: it is comic lettering software made for letterers, not a generic graphics editor.
Drop your finished art onto a page, then letter over it. Balloons auto-lock when you want them to stay put, layers let you send elements forward and back, and snapping guides keep everything aligned to the bleed, margins and each other.
Balloons, tails and captions
Place speech, thought, whisper and shout balloons, plus rectangular caption and narration boxes. Drag each tail to the speaker and bend it with a lever; push two balloons together and they merge into a single connected shape, just like hand lettering. Everything scales cleanly because balloons are drawn as vectors.
Sound effects, styles and export
Letter your SFX with 56 one-click styles — gradients, outlines and shadows — and 150+ comic fonts. When the page is done, export it print-ready as PNG, JPG, TIFF, PDF or CBZ at up to 450 DPI, or print directly. Your projects save to a cloud library so a whole book stays organized.
