TOOL-SPECIFIC GUIDE

How to use Add Text to Image

1. Select your input

Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP image from your device using the file button or supported drop area. The standard file picker accepts browser-readable images up to 25 MB; decoding support depends on the file and browser.

2. Understand the settings

Choose a locally available font, colour, size, position preset, horizontal/vertical position, direction and curve. Text backgrounds have colour and opacity controls.

3. Process and review

Enter text, choose position or click the picture, tune size, add a contrasting background when needed, process and inspect edges.

4. Save your result

Use the result’s Download control after processing. Keep your original separately and inspect the exported copy at its intended display size; the preview alone is not the file you will share.

Supported formats

Input: browser-readable images, normally JPG, PNG and WebP, up to 25 MB. Output controls include the shown Keep, JPG, PNG or WebP choices. Keep preserves a supported source encoding choice, not byte-for-byte original data; animation is not preserved.

When to use this tool

Add a caption or designed text with the available style, direction and placement controls. Place important text where it remains readable over the image.

What to check in the result

Review the exported text at its final display size. Small text, low contrast and a position near a crop boundary can make a caption unreadable.

Continue with Add Watermark when that step fits your workflow.

A practical example

Add a short event title above a photograph without covering people’s faces.

Capabilities and limitations

Font rendering depends on fonts installed on the device. Long text can overflow; check the result before downloading.

Troubleshooting

If a selected font looks different, it may not be installed on the device. Use an available font, move the text inside the canvas and check the exported result.

Processing and privacy

Image pixels are processed on your device. Loading the website and processing assets still uses a network connection, and hosting may receive normal request information. Keep original files backed up.

Questions about Add Text to Image

Why does a font look different on another device?

Font availability can differ. Use a font installed on the processing device and inspect the downloaded image.

Can I add curved or directional text?

Yes, use the curve and direction controls shown, then review spacing and placement before export.
