How to use Add Text to Image
- Add a picture.
- Type the text and choose where it goes, its size, font and colour. The preview updates as you type.
- Select Save picture to download it at full resolution.
How it works
The text is drawn onto the picture at one of nine positions, wrapped automatically so it never runs off the edge, and sized as a share of the picture height so it looks the same at any resolution. Press Enter for a new line.
Readability is the usual problem with text on photos. An outline in a contrasting colour keeps letters legible over busy backgrounds; a dark band behind the text is the most reliable choice for captions and is what subtitles use. Any language your device can display works, including right-to-left scripts and emoji.
The work is done by your browser on your device. Your pictures are not uploaded, so there is no queue, no size limit set by us and no copy kept anywhere. Pictures are processed at their full resolution; the preview is a reduced copy.
Example
A product photo with “New: now in blue” at the bottom, white bold text with a black outline, saved as JPG for a marketplace listing.
Frequently asked questions
Which fonts can I use?
Four families that exist on virtually every device: sans-serif, serif, typewriter and Impact-style. The exact typeface is supplied by your device, so it can differ slightly between a phone and a computer.
Can I add several separate texts?
One text block per pass, with as many lines as you like. To add another block elsewhere, download the result and add it again.
Does it work with Arabic, Urdu, Hindi or Chinese?
Yes. Any script your device can show is drawn correctly, including right-to-left text.
Is the text added permanently?
Yes. It becomes part of the saved picture. Keep your original if you may need it without text.
Limitations
- One text block per pass.
- Nine fixed positions; no free dragging or rotation.
- Fonts come from your device; custom font files are not supported.
