Add text to a photo
Put a caption, a title, a quote or a label on any picture — for social posts, invitations, product photos, slides and thumbnails. Several pieces of text can go on one photo, each with its own style.
How to add text to an image
- Add a photo (JPG, PNG or WebP).
- Type your text — press Enter for a new line — and drag it where you want it on the preview.
- Choose the font, size, colour and alignment; add an outline, a shadow or a caption bar to keep it readable.
- Use “Add text” for more lines elsewhere, then save and download.
Tips
- Text size follows the photo’s width, so it looks the same on a small or a large picture.
- White text with a shadow or outline reads on almost any photo; a caption bar helps on busy backgrounds.
- For classic meme lettering, use the Meme Generator; for a © notice on many photos, Add Watermark to Image.
Everything happens in your browser: your photo is never uploaded to a server, so it stays private.
