Focused workflow comparison
Text Brush vs BeFunky
A look at BeFunky's documented circle and Amount controls when text needs to follow a freeform photo route.
Text Brush
Draw the precise route first; the phrase follows it.
BeFunky
A circular model of the path
Text Brush records the shape you draw, so a path can change direction as often as the composition needs.
Try Text BrushAmount-based curve
A circular model of the path
A partial or full circle is a constrained starting shape. It is less accommodating when words need to curve differently around several parts of a photo.
A single Amount value cannot describe a route that twists through a scene.

Research notes and source
We reviewed each product's own documentation for one narrow task: placing exact words along an irregular, hand-drawn route over a photo. Last reviewed July 2026.
BeFunky's curved-text tool produces a partial or full circle and uses an Amount slider to control the curve.
