How to use Add text to image
- Add the photo you want to write on.
- Type up to three pieces of text. Each one is its own line you can move.
- Choose a font and colour. Add a dark or light box if the words are hard to read.
- Save the picture as JPG, PNG or WebP.
Why use this tool
Sometimes you only want to put a few words on a photo: a quote, a label, a date or a name. This tool does exactly that, without the extras. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no upload. The words are drawn onto the picture in your browser.
Tips for best results
- Use a dark box with white text on busy photos. It is easier to read than a thin outline.
- Turn "All capitals" off for quotes and names.
- Keep text away from the edges so it does not get cropped when you post the picture.
- Use PNG when the text must stay sharp.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add a watermark with this?
You can add your name or website as one of the text lines and drag it to a corner. A smaller size and a light box work well.
Can I use my own font?
Not yet. You can choose between four built-in styles.
Is my picture uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser and your picture never leaves your device.
