Rebus result made from the bundled sample
The source photograph inserted between words in a typographic composition.

Write with words, pictures and symbols.

Rebus arranges text, up to three imported photographs, and symbols into an offline composition. Choose Inline, Story or Grid layouts, edit and reorder content blocks, then shape the result with typography, color and image framing. Presets and random preserve your words and pictures. Native iOS also offers independent foreground cutouts from the first photo; the Web editor uses whole pictures.
