xCanvas

Lettering for tattoos, logos, and craft projects

xCanvas is a mobile lettering and typography app for people who want to design text rather than draw a full illustration. It suits tattoo artists planning lettering, small businesses creating logo ideas, calligraphy hobbyists, and makers preparing designs for social posts or cutting machines. The app is developed by Fonts Logo Maker and has more than 5,000,000 installs.

Shape text around your idea

Choose from a broad selection of font styles, including decorative, gothic, blackletter, and calligraphy-inspired options. You can use the canvas to test how a name, phrase, or brand word looks before committing it to a tattoo, logo, or craft project. Text can be bent, rotated, and given three-dimensional effects, making it easier to build lettering with a particular mood or layout.

Useful for quick visual drafts

xCanvas is focused on typography, so it is more useful for lettering studies and text-based designs than for detailed photo editing or freehand illustration. Transparent-background output is helpful when you want to place finished lettering over another image or continue working in a separate design app. Font options aimed at Cricut projects and social media also give the app a practical range beyond tattoo concepts.

A well-regarded specialist tool

With a 4.69 rating from more than 110,000 reviews, xCanvas has attracted a large audience for a focused Art & Design app. Its strength is the number of ways it lets you explore type on a phone: compare styles, adjust the shape of words, and make a rough logo or lettering concept without opening a full desktop design suite.
