About adding text to images
Adding text to an image lets you turn a photo into a quote graphic, a labelled diagram, a social post, a watermark or a simple caption. The key to readable text is contrast: a light colour with a dark outline (or vice-versa) stays legible over almost any background.
This tool centres your text at the top, middle or bottom, wraps long captions automatically, and lets you set the size and colour. Everything is rendered in your browser, so your image is never uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add text to an image?
Upload your image, type your text, then set the position (top, middle or bottom), size and colour. Turn on the outline for legibility over busy backgrounds, and download.
Will the text be readable over any background?
Yes — keep the outline on and the text gets a dark edge that keeps it legible over light, dark or busy areas. You can also change the text colour to suit.
Can I add a long caption?
Yes. Long text wraps automatically to fit the image width, across as many lines as needed.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The text is drawn entirely in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device.
