About this tool

Add Text to Image lets you write on a picture: a title on a thumbnail, a caption on a photo, a quote on a plain background. Add several text boxes, drag each one where you want it, and set the font, colour and outline for each. Your files are processed on your own device. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.

How to use Add Text to Image

  1. Choose an image, or start with a blank canvas.
  2. Type your text, then drag it into place and style it.
  3. Download as JPG or PNG.

Questions people ask

How do I make text readable on a busy photo?

Use a thick outline in a contrasting colour, for example white text with a black outline of 6 to 10. Bold sans fonts at a large size are easier to read than thin serif fonts.

Does long text wrap onto a new line?

Yes. Text wraps automatically when it reaches the edge of the picture. Press Enter in the text field to force a new line.

Is the output the same size as my photo?

Yes, up to 3000 px on the longest side. Larger images are scaled down to that size so the editor stays fast.
