Add Text Overlays to Any Photo Online
Adding text to images is one of the most common tasks for social media creators, photographers, and marketers. Whether you need a title on a cover photo, a watermark on your portfolio, or a motivational quote on a landscape shot, this tool handles it all directly in your browser.
Upload any JPG, PNG, or WebP image and start typing. Each text layer can be individually styled with different fonts, sizes, colors, and effects. Drag text anywhere on the canvas to find the perfect placement.
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server, and the final download preserves the original resolution of your photo with the text rendered at matching quality.
Professional Text Features at Zero Cost
Choose from a selection of web fonts that cover everything from clean sans-serifs to elegant scripts. Each font renders crisply at any size, so your text looks sharp whether it spans the full width or sits as a small label in the corner.
Fine-tune every detail: adjust opacity to create subtle watermarks, add drop shadows for readability over busy backgrounds, or go bold with large high-contrast headlines. All changes preview instantly on your image.
Work with multiple text layers simultaneously. Each layer is independent, so you can combine a headline, a subtitle, and a credit line all on the same image with different styles for each.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your image never leaves your device. The text is rendered on a local canvas and the download is generated entirely on your machine.
Can I add multiple lines of text?
Yes. You can add as many text layers as you need. Each layer has its own font, color, size, and position. Create headings, subtitles, credits, or watermarks all on the same image.
What image formats are supported?
You can upload JPG, PNG, and WebP images. The downloaded result is always a high-quality PNG file that preserves transparency if your original had it.
Can I move the text after placing it?
Yes. Every text layer can be dragged to any position on the image. Click on a layer to select it, then drag it to reposition. You can also edit the text content, font, and style at any time.
