Billboard - Show Large Text

Billboard turns your phone or tablet into a sign.

Type a word, a number or a short message and it fills the entire screen, scaled as large as it will go without ever cutting a letter off. Hold it up and it reads from across the room.

Use it in a meeting to vote on a subject with a number or a word. Show your name at an airport pickup, a table number on a market stall, a "BACK IN 5" note on a counter, a score at a game, or a room number at a conference. Anything you would otherwise scribble on paper — only bigger, brighter, and readable from much further away.

BUILT FROM LAYERS

A billboard is a stack of layers you can add, reorder and restyle:

• Text — your message, auto-fitted to the biggest size that still fits the screen
• Color — set the text and background colors
• Effects — gradient, stripes, dots and checkerboard backgrounds

The editor previews the result on a live, device-shaped canvas, so you see exactly what the room will see before you show it. Pull the preview down to go fullscreen.

KEEP WHAT YOU MAKE

• Collection — your own grid of saved billboards, kept in the order you choose. Drag to rearrange, reopen one in the editor, or send it straight to fullscreen.
• Recent — every billboard you show is saved automatically, so yesterday's sign is one tap away instead of something you rebuild.
• Swipe a Recent entry away when you are done with it, or promote it into your Collection to keep it for good.

SHARE AND IMPORT

• Send a billboard as a .billboard file. Whoever opens it gets the whole thing in their own editor — every layer, ready to edit.
• Or export it as a PNG image to drop into a chat, a slide or a printout.

FITS EVERY SCREEN

• Choose portrait, landscape or automatic rotation per billboard
• Phones, tablets and foldables — large screens get a two-pane editor that previews and edits side by side
• Light and dark themes, plus a language picker that works independently of your system language
• Fully translated into English, German, Spanish, Russian and Arabic

FREE, WITH OPTIONAL UNLOCKS

Billboard is free, has no ads, and needs no account. Two optional one-time purchases are there if you want them: Advanced Layers adds the advanced layer types, the full color picker and the visual effects, and Save More Billboards raises how many you can keep in your Collection and Recent. No subscriptions.

Nothing you type leaves your device. Usage analytics are anonymous, cover only which features get used, and can be switched off in Settings.
