How to use Add Text to Image

  1. 1Choose an image or drop it onto the page. Two text boxes are added at the top and bottom to get you started.
  2. 2Click a text box (or its number) and type your text. Use new lines for several lines.
  3. 3Pick the font, size, color and outline, then drag the text on the image to position it.
  4. 4Add more text with Add text, then download the result as PNG or JPG.

Add text to your photos

Captions turn pictures into messages. Add a title to a thumbnail, a quote to a photo, a label to a screenshot, a date to an invitation or the punchline to a meme. This tool lets you put any number of text boxes on an image, style each one and drag them into place with your mouse or finger — no design software or account required, and your image never leaves your device.

Features

  • Multiple text boxes, each with its own style.
  • Drag to position on desktop and touch screens.
  • Four font styles: sans-serif, serif, monospace and Impact for memes.
  • Size, color, outline and bold controls.
  • Multi-line text for longer captions.
  • PNG or JPG download at the original resolution.
  • Works with any language and emoji.

Invitations Several boxes for title, date and place

Tips for readable text

  • Use an outline when the background is busy — it keeps text readable on any color.
  • Keep it short. A few large words read better than a long sentence.
  • Leave margins. Text too close to the edge may be cut off when the image is cropped by social networks.
  • Prepare the image first. Crop Image and Resize Image before adding text, and Blur Image to hide private details.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use emoji and any language?
Yes. Text is drawn with the fonts installed on your device, so emoji and scripts such as Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Cyrillic work as long as your device can display them.
How do I make classic meme text?
Use the Impact font, white text, a black outline and bold. That's the default style, so simply type your top and bottom lines.
Will the image lose quality?
The output keeps your image's original dimensions (very large images are limited to 4096 pixels on the longest side). Choose PNG for the sharpest text, or JPG for a smaller file when the picture is a photo.
How do I move or delete text?
Drag any text directly on the image to move it. Select a text box and click Delete text to remove it.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The image is edited in your browser and saved straight to your device.
