About This Tool
Add text to any image with full control over font, size, color, stroke and placement — the tool behind quote cards, price tags, "SOLD" stamps, meme captions and announcement banners. Everything is processed in your browser, so client images and unreleased designs stay private. Multiple text layers are supported: add a headline, then a smaller sub-line, position each independently, and flatten to one output file.
How to Use This Tool
- Drop your background image.
- Type the text in the layer panel; adjust font family, size, color and optional outline (a dark stroke keeps light text readable on busy photos).
- Drag the text box directly on the preview, or use the X/Y fields for exact placement.
- Add more layers for captions, prices or credits — each layer keeps its own settings.
- Download the flattened result as JPG (photos) or PNG (text-heavy graphics).
Advantages & Use Cases
Put a launch date on a product teaser, add dimensions to a marketplace photo of furniture, stamp NOT FOR RESALE on supplier samples, or build quote images for social media with your brand colors. Teachers label diagram photos for worksheets the same way.
Supported Formats & Recommendations
- PNG keeps text perfectly sharp; choose it for screenshots, diagrams and thin fonts.
- JPG at quality 88-90 for photographic backgrounds — text still reads cleanly.
- Add a 1-2 px contrasting stroke when placing light text over a light area; shadow alone disappears after social-media re-compression.
How We Test This Tool
Every release renders text at 16 px and 96 px over a photo and a flat background, checking edge crispness at 1x, exact X/Y placement against a measured grid, multi-layer z-order, and that long strings wrap or clip exactly as configured.

Frequently Asked Questions
The text looks blurry in the output — why?
You probably scaled the text beyond the image resolution, or saved as low-quality JPG. Increase image resolution, reduce font size slightly, or export PNG for pixel-crisp letters.
Can I use my brand font?
The tool offers a curated set of web-safe and bundled fonts so outputs render identically for everyone. For a specific brand font, add the text in a design tool — or use a close match from the font list.
How do I keep text readable over a busy photo?
Add a dark semi-transparent rectangle behind the text layer, or use the stroke option — contrast is what matters, not size.
