Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our Image to Polaroid tool.

How do you load the custom Google Fonts?

When you select a handwritten or typewriter font, our converter dynamically injects the stylesheet link into the page header, ensuring the custom font renders flawlessly in real-time.

Does the exported image have a transparent background?

Yes. The exported PNG keeps the area outside the tilted card and its drop shadow fully transparent, making it perfect to overlay on other designs.

Is my personal photo safe?

Absolutely. The entire canvas processing, font loading, and file generation run in your local browser. No data is sent to any external server.
