Add custom text to images with our new (Survey feature)
Now, you can seamlessly add personalised text collected from your survey responses directly onto your photos. This new tool makes every image more meaningful and interactive, whether it's names, messages, baseball card creations, or custom details. With a few easy steps, you can elevate your photo experience!
Important Notes:
This feature works for Photos, GIFs, Bursts and AI-FX (AI Filters).
It is not available for Animated Overlays at the moment.
The survey display location needs to be set to On Experience Selection.
We recommend enabling Required for Surveys as it will prevent skipping text fields.

How it works on the app
The guest will complete the survey. Only the survey text options added to your template will appear on the template.
Next, the guest will choose the appropriate photo template that displays their completed survey response.
The guest strikes a pose, captures their image, and, once approved, sees the final output.
