Text shows up best against a plain or darker part of the photo — if your chosen spot is busy or light-coloured, switch the text colour to something with more contrast, or try a different position. This tool automatically outlines the text slightly to help it stand out against varied backgrounds.
How to use Add Text to Image
- Upload the base photo you want to work with.
- Fill in the text, position, or second image the tool asks for.
- Watch the live preview update as you adjust the settings.
- Download the finished image once you're happy with the placement.
Tips for best results
- Short, high-contrast text reads best — a colour close to the photo's background can get lost.
- Preview at full size before downloading; small text can look fine zoomed in but disappear at normal viewing size.
- Keep a copy of the original photo in case you want to try a different position or wording later.
❓ Frequently asked questions
Can I edit the result after downloading?
The download is a flattened image, so further edits would need a separate image editor; re-run this tool from scratch if you want to change the text or position.
Is there a limit on image size I can upload?
No hard limit — very large photos just take a little longer to process since everything happens in your browser.
Can I use a custom font?
This tool uses a clean, readable sans-serif font by default; custom font uploads aren't supported here.
Can I add more than one line of text?
This version places a single line; for multiple lines, run the tool again on the result to add a second line in a different position.
Is there a character limit?
No fixed limit, though very long text may run off the edge of the photo depending on its width — shorter text reads more clearly anyway.
