Add text to a photo online: type your words, choose the font, colour, size and position, and add an outline (or keep the soft shadow) so they stay readable. Rotate the text, make it semi-transparent or repeat it across the image, then download the result — no app, no account and no upload.

Your files never leave your device.

What is the Add Text to Image?

Text is drawn onto the image pixels, so it shows up the same everywhere the picture is shared. Size is set as a percentage of the image width, which keeps it proportional on large and small photos alike.

An outline or soft shadow keeps light text readable on bright backgrounds. For bold top-and-bottom captions in the classic meme style, use the Meme Generator.

Which fonts can I use?

Sans-serif, serif, monospace, Impact and a handwriting style, using the fonts installed on your device — so the exact look can differ slightly between computers and phones.

Does adding text reduce image quality?

Is the Add Text to Image free and private?

Yes. The Add Text to Image is free, needs no account, and processes your files entirely in your browser. Files are never uploaded to a server or stored.
