  4. Save the picture.

Why use this tool

A caption bar keeps the words off the picture, so nothing is covered. It is the look used for quotes, jokes and short notes on a photo. This tool builds the bar for you and joins it to the picture in your browser.

Tips for best results

  • Left-aligned text reads naturally. Centre it for short, punchy captions.
  • Use a black bar with white text for photos with bright skies.
  • Keep captions short. Long ones make the bar tall.
  • This tool does not write the caption for you. It lays out the words you type.

Frequently asked questions

Does this write captions with AI?

No. You write the words and the tool places them neatly with the picture.

Can the caption go on the picture itself?

Use the Add Text to Image tool for words on top of the photo.

Is my picture uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser and your picture never leaves your device.
