About This Tool

This tool enables users to add text overlays to photos for quick branding, captions, or annotations. It accepts an image input, supports multiple fonts, colors, and sizes, and renders the overlay with precise positioning. The exported result is optimized for web use and easy sharing.
Conceptually, typography is layered on top of the image in a non-destructive workflow. The engine calculates text dimensions using font metrics, wraps lines as needed, and applies alignment while preserving the original image. Users benefit from predictable, high-contrast text on various backgrounds.
Audience and differentiators: content creators, marketers, educators, and small teams gain a free online solution that requires no installation or signup. Unique value comes from its focused feature set, lack of watermark, and fast rendering, enabling experimentation with different fonts and layouts.
Core features and use cases: library fonts, color pickers, size and alignment controls, multiline support, text opacity, and optional shadows or outlines. Exports support PNG, JPEG, and WEBP. Common use cases include social thumbnails, blog images with captions, product photos with labels, and promo banners.

How to Use

  1. Provide inputs: Upload an image, enter the text to overlay, and select a font.
  2. Configure styling: adjust size, color, weight, and alignment.
  3. Position the overlay on the image and verify readability with a preview.
  4. Apply wrapping if needed and finalize the layout.
  5. Export the result as PNG or JPEG, with optional transparency if PNG.
