TypoCollector: Letter Cutouts

Keep the lettering and visual details that make you stop in the street.

TypoCollector is an iPhone app for collecting hand-painted signs, menu lettering, worn shop type, logos, and characters as reusable image cutouts. You do not need to trace every edge: draw a loose loop around what you want, then refine the result only where needed.

How it works

1. Take a photo or choose one from your photo library.

2. Loosely circle the letter, sign, logo, or element you want to keep.

3. Fine-tune the generated mask with Restore and Erase brushes.

4. Add a name and tags, save it to your library, and export a transparent PNG.
