You are testing one image or a short idea.
Free covers a small project, editable lettering, project Preflight and watermark-free current-page 1x PNG.
A practical BubbleText workflow from first PNG to production export
This page maps the production path now available in BubbleText: test a real page, import and map dialogue, refine editable lettering, adapt the project for its destination, run project-wide Preflight, publish a frozen client proof and build a precise delivery package.
Quick answer
Use Free to validate the lettering core, Creator for recurring multi-page or reviewed-language delivery and Pro for larger 4x client packages. Upgrade value appears when the same checked project must produce more pages, languages or reusable formats without rebuilding the work.
You repeat the workflow every week.
Creator adds one active client proof, 12-page projects, reviewed-language delivery, SVG/PDF, 2x PNG and production ZIP.
You ship parallel clients or high-resolution chapters.
Pro adds five active client proofs, raises the project limit to 50 pages and output scale to 4x.

First image validation
Open Editor V3 with a real photo or comic page. Edit one bubble, direct its tail and finish a current-page 1x PNG before committing a larger script.
Repeatable project setup
Import script lines, map roles, set reading order and keep page objects independent so later dialogue changes do not restart the chapter.
Project quality gate
Scan current, selected or all pages for text fit, bounds, overlap, contrast and unsafe routing. Apply only safe fixes and preserve protected layouts.
Private client proof
Publish frozen, expiring revisions without sending the editable project. Clients can pin comments to a specific revision and approve or request changes.
Exact production delivery
After feedback is resolved, choose page range, reviewed languages and 1x, 2x or 4x scale. Creator and Pro can build PNG, SVG, PDF or a structured ZIP.
Destination-ready formats
Use the same editable project for subject-safe photos, original two-sided message graphics, long Webtoon strips or a coordinated 1:1, 4:5, 9:16 and 16:9 social set.
What the Release 4.4 delivery workflows add
One editor, five workflows
Comic, Photo, Message, Webtoon and Social are production adapters inside Editor V3. Projects keep the same editable bubbles, languages, history and review path when the destination changes.
Photo-safe composition
Square, portrait and landscape photo presets expose a visible delivery-safe area. Dialogue can be fitted inside that region while local Smart placement remains available for subject-aware adjustment.
Original message graphics
Message mode creates a brand-neutral two-sided conversation with editable participants, side assignment, names, timestamps and three visual themes. It does not imitate a social or messaging platform.
Webtoon reading flow
Long 800-pixel-wide canvases arrange dialogue in reading order and show export seams on the canvas. PNG delivery splits the strip into numbered files without flattening the source project.
Coordinated social set
One action produces independent 1:1, 4:5, 9:16 and 16:9 pages. Each page can be refined separately while translated text and panel relationships stay connected.
Format-aware Preflight
Preflight reports dialogue outside safe regions, bubbles crossing Webtoon slice seams and message objects without a participant side. Delivery manifests record the workflow, preset and slice count.
What the Release 4.3 version and review gate adds
Frozen proof
The link contains rendered pages and embedded artwork, not editable layers, scripts, character maps or the owner's account details.
Page pins
A reviewer clicks the exact place that needs attention, adds a named comment and can move between ordered proof pages without downloading project files.
Immutable proof revisions
Publishing again creates a new frozen proof while earlier revisions remain available to the owner. Comments, approval and change requests stay attached to the revision that received them.
Side-by-side comparison
Version History compares the selected checkpoint with the current project, including pages, dialogue, layout, style, objects and language content, plus rendered page proofs.
Protected recovery
Restoring first creates a local Before restore safety point. A saved version can also become a separate project when the creator wants to branch instead of replace current work.
Private access lifecycle
Links expire after 7, 14 or 30 days and can be revoked immediately. Creator supports one active link; Pro supports five parallel links.
What the Release 4.1 export gate checks and records
Delivery range
Export the current page, an explicit page selection or the complete saved project. File names retain page order so a chapter can be reviewed outside the editor.
Language eligibility
The source language is always available. Translated versions enter delivery only after review, so an unfinished draft cannot silently reach a client package.
Production status
Blocking Preflight issues stop rendering. Warnings remain visible and are recorded, giving the creator a deliberate decision instead of an unqualified success message.
Privacy-safe manifest
The manifest records page dimensions, language codes, scale and Preflight counts. It excludes uploaded artwork, account email and dialogue text.
Example workflows that lead to conversion
Trust and payment notes
- No card to start.Free editing lets a creator test the result before making a billing decision.
- Monthly PayPal billing.Paid plans renew monthly and can be cancelled from PayPal automatic payments settings.
- Private editing path.Normal editing stays in the browser unless a signed-in user chooses cloud backup or deliberately publishes a frozen client proof.
- Generic message mode.Message bubbles avoid platform-specific UI, official app colors and branded interface chrome.
Next action
Open editor freeOpen one real image, finish one export, then decide.
The best commercial test is simple: can BubbleText save enough editing time on one real project that Creator or Pro is obvious at the export step?
FAQ
Should every user upgrade immediately?
No. Users should stay on Free while testing small projects and upgrade only when paid exports or larger limits are useful.
What is the strongest Creator trigger?
Creator is strongest when a user needs one active client proof, recurring selected-page or all-page delivery, reviewed languages, SVG/PDF, 2x PNG or production ZIP.
What is the strongest Pro trigger?
Pro is strongest when a user needs five parallel client proofs, 50-page projects, more Auto Lettering capacity and 4x production packages.
