How to add text to image in 3 simple steps
Upload the photo you want to caption
Click to browse or drag and drop into the tool above. Files load in memory — there is no cloud upload step. We support common formats including JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and HEIC from iPhone.
Type your text and style the overlay
Enter your caption, pick a font and color, then toggle stroke, shadow, or a background bar so text stays readable on busy backgrounds. Use nine anchor positions to add text to image exactly where you want it — top, center, or bottom combined with left, center, or right alignment.
Download your image with text baked in
Export as JPG for smaller files, PNG for lossless quality, or WebP for the web. When you add text to image and download, the overlay is flattened into the file — ready to post, print, or share immediately.
Why use this text overlay editor?
Readable text overlays on any photo
Stroke, drop shadow, and an optional background bar keep captions legible when you add text to image over bright skies, busy streets, or detailed product shots.
Flexible placement when you add text to image
Nine anchor combinations let you position headlines, watermarks, or meme labels without guessing pixels. Center titles for posters, bottom captions for stories, or corner tags for branding.
Private — add text to image on your device
Your photos never leave your browser during editing. Ideal when you add text to image files that contain personal, client, or confidential content.
High-resolution export with text overlay
Output matches your source resolution — great for YouTube thumbnails, Instagram posts, and print-ready graphics after you add text to image and download.
