Place Custom Text Anywhere on Your Photos

The Add Text to Image tool lets you overlay text on any image with full control over font, size, colour, position, and styling. Whether you are creating a motivational quote graphic, adding a watermark to your photography, labelling a diagram, or putting a caption on a meme, this tool gives you the controls you need without requiring Photoshop, Canva, or any other heavyweight design application.

Complete Typography Control

When you add text to an image with this tool, you are not limited to a single generic font in white. You can choose from a range of web fonts, set the exact size in pixels, pick any colour using a colour picker, and adjust the opacity from fully transparent to fully solid. Bold, italic, and font weight options are available. Text alignment can be left, centre, or right, which matters when you have multiple lines.

Shadow and outline effects let you ensure your text remains readable regardless of the background. A dark photo needs light text with perhaps a subtle shadow. A bright photo needs dark text or white text with a dark outline. The text overlay tool supports both approaches and lets you fine-tune the shadow offset, blur, and colour independently.

Flexible Positioning

Position your text by clicking anywhere on the image preview, or enter exact pixel coordinates for precision placement. A drag handle lets you reposition text after placing it, so you can experiment with different layouts without starting over. For common placements like centred text, bottom-right watermark, or top banner, preset position buttons save you time.

You can add multiple text layers to a single image. Each layer has its own independent settings, so you could have a title in large bold serif font at the top and a subtitle in smaller italic sans-serif below it, each in a different colour. The layer list shows all your text overlays and lets you reorder, edit, or delete them individually.

Use Cases for Adding Text to Images

Social media content creators make quote graphics, announcement images, and story posts daily. The Add Text to Image tool handles all of these without needing a full design tool. Photographers add copyright watermarks to protect their work before sharing online. Teachers create labelled diagrams for educational materials. Event organisers make promotional graphics with event details overlaid on venue photos.

E-commerce sellers add sale banners and pricing labels to product images. Real estate agents overlay address and price information on listing photos. Bloggers create featured images with article titles. Presenters make title slides by combining text with background imagery. The list of applications is as long as the list of reasons people need text on images, which is essentially infinite.

Export in Your Preferred Format

Once your text is placed exactly where you want it, download the finished image as PNG for lossless quality with transparency support, or JPEG for smaller file sizes. The tool renders the text directly onto the image pixels, so the output is a flat image file that looks the same everywhere, no special software needed to view it.

No Account, No Uploads, No Cost

The Add Text to Image tool processes everything in your browser. Your images stay on your device, your text is rendered locally, and the finished product is downloaded directly without passing through any server. It is free, private, and instant. Open the tool, drop in your image, type your text, and download the result.
