What Strip Designer is
Strip Designer is a paid iOS and macOS app for turning photos into comic books. More than 100 page templates are included, and users can arrange panel layouts themselves. Pages can contain photos, drawings, customizable speech balloons, warped lettering, and more than 150 stickers. Photo tools provide filters, painting, and masking. PDFs can be imported, while comics can be exported as PDF books or in PDF, JPEG, and PNG formats. Dropbox and WebDAV support uploads and downloads, and iCloud sync works across devices. Shared iPad setup is supported through MDM configuration. The maker’s FAQ says each page can contain up to 16 cells, counting photos and text, because of memory constraints. Reusable custom templates are not supported; duplicating a comic reuses a layout. Strip Designer costs $3.99, paid once with no in-app purchases. The developer says it does not collect data, though Apple has not verified that information.
