About Add Text to Image

Add text to an image for a quick poster, a price on a product shot, a title on a blog header or a label on a screenshot. Type the words, drag them where you want them on the picture, and style them with a font, size, color, outline and shadow. Add as many text boxes as you like and edit each one separately, and put emoji on the picture too. For captions at the top and bottom, a caption strip or a GIF, the Meme Generator has them ready.

Long lines wrap by themselves to fit the picture, and a dark or light background behind the words keeps them readable on a busy photo. Text can be rotated and ALL CAPS is one tick away. Everything happens in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded and it doesn't count toward your daily tasks. Save at the original resolution or a smaller size (1920 or 1080 pixels on the longest side), as PNG, JPG or WebP. Fonts come from your device, including Chinese styles like KaiTi and SimHei where they're installed.

FAQ

Add Text to Image: questions and answers

How do I add text to a photo without uploading it?
Just use this page. The picture is opened and edited by your browser, and the finished file is saved straight to your device.
Can I add text to an image in Chinese?
Yes, any language works, and long Chinese lines wrap between characters without splitting punctuation. For Chinese, pick KaiTi or SimHei, or Sans, which uses PingFang or Microsoft YaHei on most computers.
Will the fonts look the same when I share the picture?
Yes. Once saved, the text is part of the image. Only the editor depends on your device's fonts, and a missing one is replaced by a similar font before you save.
Should I save as PNG, JPG or WebP?
PNG keeps sharp text edges and suits graphics and screenshots. JPG makes smaller files for photos, and WebP smaller still for websites. For a lighter file, pick 1080 pixels under Size, or use Compress Image afterwards.
Is there a limit on how often I can use it?
No. It runs in your browser, so it's free and doesn't count toward the 2 daily tasks of a free account.
Share Add Text to Image with a friendIt runs in any browser, and they can try it without signing up.
