Frequently Asked Questions

This page answers some general questions. Visit the How to Use page to get more detailed information about how this website works and how to use it.

What is Picture to People?

Picture to People is a huge research and development project that lends its name for this site. The project was started to create the world's most complete and advanced libraries to produce artistic graphic design software. This site offers online many graphic design apps and tools developed by using the libraries from the Picture to People project. Over the years, users started calling the project as "P2P", as a nickname for "Picture to People".

Is the service provided by this site free?

Yes, it is free for personal or commercial use, if you provide credits to Picture to People (including a link to this site), as can be seen in our Use License. There also is an option to use the images created by our graphic design tools with no attribution. You can know more by reading the Rewards page.

How do I get support?

If you have questions, want help, or need to make a request, please read the How to Use page for instructions.

How do I find the graphic design app I need?

This site offers many photo effects, thousands of text logo creators, hundreds of image logo makers and much more. Because of that, it takes some time to know everything we have to offer. Besides, occasionally it may be difficult to find what you want. In such case, some good options are: click the "Design Tools" menu in the header to have access to the most general and complete collections of apps, or choose a recommended collection of apps at the bottom of the page, or click a link in the page footer, or use the search box in the footer.

Why are there disabled features on this site?

Because some features are exclusive rewards for our subscribers. This site is better than ever for users willing to support the project. As an example, most text effect apps now have more than 1100 fonts to choose from. The Rewards page explains how you can get all the extra features.

Can I get bigger output image sizes?

Currently you can't. Most effect are very processing intensive to generate, and our servers already are overloaded, because there are many simultaneous people using the site all the time.

Do the text effect apps support Eastern languages and Unicode characters?

Currently no. If we get a lot of donations, maybe we can rewrite a lot of source code to make this possible. The How to Use page informs all languages supported by this site.

Why don't some characters of my text look like expected?

Probably the font you chose is incomplete or has some flaws. As a test, generate the same text effect using the "Arial" font, so all characters should be rendered correctly. As explained in the previous question, Eastern characters will always fail for all fonts.

How do I sign-up?

You don't need to create an account to use all Picture to People online design tools. If you subscribe to support this project, you can have extra features. In such case, after your subscription is processed, you will receive an email confirming that your account has been created and giving instructions on how to proceed to complete your sign-up.

How do I know if I am logged in?

The easiest way to know if your session is still valid is looking at the top toolbar (below the header). If you see a button with your user name at the right side, you have a valid session. If your session has expired, you see a "Sign-in" button on the top toolbar.

How do I sign-out?

If you are signed-in, you can sign-out by clicking the button that shows your user name at the right side of the top toolbar.

How do I change my password?

Click the "Sign-in" button at the right side of the top toolbar to access the sign-in page. This page has a link that you can click to receive an email with further instructions to reset your password. This feature can also be used if you forgot your current password.

Is it safe to donate to this project?

Yes. The donation process uses PayPal or Stripe services. They are globally trusted companies that offer financial transaction services protected by strong encryption. We don't have access to your financial data (not even your credit card number). Our donation page is here.

Could you develop a Picture to People mobile app?

Currently we can't, but this site can be used comfortably even in mobiles. If we get enough donations, maybe we we can put this goal in the roadmap.

Can I contact the team?

Yes. Use the envelope icon on the left side of the top toolbar, or the "Contact Us" link on the footer. Please, don't spam us. If you do so, the sender's address and domain will be marked as "spammer" and "untrusted", so all messages from such sender will be blocked and discarded. Depending on the case, the sender's domain will be permanently blocked, so no address from that domain will be ever accepted again. Do not use this feature to any subject related to our graphic design tools (see the question "How do I get support?").
