Frequently asked questions

How do I add text to a photo?

Drop the photo in, type your text in the Text box, choose a font and colour, and drag the text where you want it on the image. Then click “Download image”.

Can I add more than one text?

Yes. Click “+ Add text” for each extra line or label. Click any text on the image to select and edit it, or use Duplicate to copy its style.

Which fonts can I use?

15 fonts, including Google Fonts such as Inter, Montserrat, Playfair Display, Bebas Neue, Oswald, Anton, Lobster, Pacifico and Caveat, plus classics like Arial, Georgia and Impact.

How do I make text readable on a busy photo?

Turn on an outline or a shadow, or tick “Background box” to put a solid colour behind the text. Lowering the opacity helps a text work as a subtle watermark.

Does it reduce my image quality?

No. Text is drawn at the image's original resolution. PNG output is lossless; JPG and WebP are saved at high quality.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser — only the font files load from Google Fonts.
