THE PRACTICAL GUIDE

How to add text to image

Add crisp adjustable text to any photo, with custom typography, positioning, outlines and multi-line captions. Drag-to-position text, font size, rotation, outlines, color and local image exports.

Follow these steps

  1. Upload a picture and write the text you want to add.
  2. Drag the text on the preview or use the position, size and styling controls.
  3. Review placement and download your updated image.

Know the limitations

Installed browser fonts may differ between devices. Downloaded output is a flattened image, not editable text layers.

Make photo captions readable

Strong contrast matters more than decorative fonts. Place text away from busy areas of the picture, use an outline when the photo contains mixed bright and dark regions, and preview it on a small screen.

Real-world examples and quality tips

For a two-line heading, insert a line break instead of shrinking the text to one long line. The exported image is flattened, so keep your original picture and source wording for future edits.

Choose settings based on how you intend to use the finished image. Preview the result, inspect any labels or dimensions, and download a separate file. Your source file stays on your device.
