Add Text to Image — Free Online Photo Text Editor

Upload your image and click Add Text to insert a headline, caption, or watermark. Choose from serif, sans-serif, handwriting, or display fonts, then set size, bold or italic, text color, outline and background color. Rendering runs on our servers and downloads instantly without watermarks, useful for quick social posts.

Yes. Add several text layers, select any layer to edit it, and delete the ones you no longer need. Each layer has its own font, size, color, outline and background color, so you can combine bold all-caps text for memes with smaller body copy for context. There is no opacity control or layer reordering.

Use a text outline or a background color behind the text to increase contrast against detailed photos. Pair light text with a dark outline, or the reverse. These readability tweaks keep your Instagram stories, posters, and YouTube thumbnails clear on supported devices.

You can type symbols and text in other languages, but what appears depends on the font you pick, so choose a font that includes the characters you need and check the preview. Emoji may not render in every font, and the tool has no emoji picker or sticker set.

Add your brand name as a small text layer and place it in a corner or across the center. Choose a muted color so it's visible but not distracting. Watermarking your images helps deter unauthorized use while keeping your portfolio and product photos consistent.

Yes. Add two text layers, type them in all caps with a bold display font such as Anton, drag them to the top and bottom, and add a black outline for contrast. This classic meme generator style works great for viral content. You can resize for square posts, stories, and reels without pixelation.

The download keeps the format you uploaded, so a JPEG stays a JPEG and a PNG stays a PNG, with the text rendered crisply on top. There is no separate export-format setting. Edits render on our servers, so you can iterate and publish graphics without delay.

Editing runs on our secure servers and uploads are removed under our Security policy. We don't retain your images or text layers, and we never share them. This privacy-by-design approach makes the online text overlay editor suitable for personal photos, client projects, and marketing assets where data control matters.

Yes. Add a text layer, type your caption, then set the size, color, outline and a background color behind the text so it stays readable over the image. Position it anywhere by dragging, and download with no watermark - ideal for quote posts, announcements and product captions.

Select a text layer, then tap the B (Bold) or I (Italic) toggle buttons next to the font dropdown to switch each style on or off independently. Combine both for a heavy, italicized headline look on posters or quote graphics.

Open the Background color swatch for the selected text layer and pick a color, or leave the Transparent checkbox on for text with no bar behind it. A solid dark background behind white text creates the classic caption-bar look used in memes and video subtitles.

With a text layer selected, drag the Outline Width slider from 0 (no outline) up to 10px, and set the outline color separately from the text color. A thicker outline in a contrasting color is what keeps meme-style text readable over busy or bright photos.

Click or tap the text box in the preview to select it, then drag it anywhere on the photo to reposition it, or drag its corner handle to resize it — the font size scales automatically as you resize. Every change updates live in the preview before you download.

Pick a bold sans-serif or display font, turn on Bold, set the font size around 40-60px, and add either a 2-4px outline in a contrasting color or a solid background bar behind the text. Position the box in the lower third of the photo so the caption stays readable at thumbnail size on Instagram, TikTok and Stories.

The Font Size slider runs from 8px up to 100px per text layer. Use 50-100px for bold headline text that needs to read at a glance, and drop to 8-16px for fine print, credit lines, or small captions. Each text layer keeps its own independent size, so you can mix one big headline with smaller supporting text on the same photo.

The Font Family dropdown includes 62 free-to-use fonts across five styles: bold display faces like Anton, Bebas Neue and Bangers for memes and headlines; elegant serifs like Playfair Display and Merriweather for quote graphics; flowing script and handwriting fonts like Pacifico and Dancing Script for greetings and Pinterest pins; and monospace fonts like JetBrains Mono and Source Code Pro for code screenshots. Every font renders identically in the live preview and the final download.

Every text layer has its own independent Text Color, Outline Color and Background Color, so you can style a title in one color and a caption underneath in another. Select a layer from the Layers list, then use its color swatches — changes only affect the active layer, leaving every other layer untouched.

Yes — double-click a text box on desktop, or double-tap it on a touchscreen, and it turns into an editable textarea directly on the image. Type your change, then press Enter or tap elsewhere to save it; this is a quick shortcut for the same text content you can also edit from the Text field in the Layers panel.

Both work. On a touchscreen, put two fingers on a selected text box and pinch in or out to scale its width, height and font size together in one motion. With a mouse or a single finger, you're not limited to the corners either — a selected box shows eight handles (four corners plus four edge midpoints), so you can stretch just the width or just the height from an edge handle if you don't want the box to resize proportionally.

Yes — Pixoate supports batch and bulk processing. Switch to Batch mode, add up to 60 images on Premium or 200 on Pro, set your options once, and every image is processed with the same settings before you download a single ZIP. Bulk processing is a Premium feature; the output uses the same quality and settings as single mode.

Yes — with bulk processing you configure the settings a single time and they apply to every item in the batch — up to 60 images on Premium or 200 on Pro. There is no need to repeat the setup per item, and Temporary uploaded and generated files are processed securely and deleted automatically.

Almost always one of three things. The file is over the 20 MB free upload limit — Premium takes 50 MB and Pro 120 MB. The format is not one this tool accepts, so check the list shown on the upload panel. Or the file is not really the format its name says: renaming a file does not change what is inside it, and that is the reason a valid-looking image gets refused.

Yes — the default look is deliberately obvious so you can see what the tool does, and most photos read better well below it. If the page has a strength or intensity slider, bring it down until the effect looks like a decision rather than a filter; if it has only style choices or an instruction box, pick a milder style or ask for a subtler look and generate again. Compare against your original before you download.

Add Text to Image supports free standard use within the published processing allowances. Free downloads are clean — no watermark. No signup is required for standard tool use. Photo effects and AI edits have a web-size limit on Free, with the original-resolution result available through Premium or one credit. Crop, resize, rotate, compress and convert stay full size. Premium supports batches of up to 60 files, with the applicable plan limits shown before processing.

No — Add Text to Image runs in the browser on desktop and phone. There is nothing to install, no trial to start, and no license to buy before you can see whether it does what you need. Try it on the file you are actually stuck with rather than a sample.

It is a text tool rather than a word art library with ready-made lettering. Type the words, pick a bold display font, raise Font Size, add an Outline Color and Outline Width, and drag the box into place. A thick outline in a contrasting color gives the classic word art look on any picture.

This page puts new text onto a picture; it does not read text out of one. To copy the words from a screenshot, photo or scan as editable text, use Image to Text, which extracts text in 30 or more supported languages. Check the result for small or blurry characters.

AI Text Editor selects the old words, repairs the background behind them and places your replacement text in the selected area. It works with straight lines of text, so review the result before you use it. This tool only adds new text on top.

The tool works on still images, so a GIF comes back as one still image with your text drawn on it. If you want movement, GIF Maker animates ordered images or a short video clip into a GIF.

Readability here comes from Outline Width, Outline Color and a Background Color bar. For a drop shadow, a curved line or text effects, open the image in the Photo Editor, where each text layer has Opacity, Shadow and Curve controls.

The text adder places your words in a font from its own list and cannot detect or copy the font used in a picture. Choose the closest style from Font Family, such as a heavy display face for headlines or a serif for quotes.

Open this page in your phone's browser and upload the picture, then tap the text box, double-tap to edit it in place and drag it into position. Pick a font and color, select Add my text and download the picture to your phone. Add Text Box gives each extra line or label its own box and style.

Select the text box, open Font Family and choose a handwriting or display style, then use Bold or Italic and raise Font Size until the lettering reads clearly. A thicker Outline Width or a Background Color bar keeps decorative letters readable on a busy photo.

This tool needs a picture to start from, so upload any photo, screenshot or plain graphic and add your text on top. If you want to start from a blank canvas with a color or template background, open the Photo Editor and choose Blank design instead.

Yes. Standard use is free: upload the image, add your text and download the result with no watermark, and no signup is needed within the allowance for signed-out visitors. The free download is web-size, while Premium unlocks the original-resolution result and batch mode.

Pick a display font such as Anton, Bebas Neue or Bangers in Font Family, raise Font Size, set Color to white and give the text a thick black Outline Width. Impact itself is not in the list. The meme generator opens with top and bottom boxes already styled this way.
