What is the Add Text to Image tool?

A free, browser-based text overlay editor. Upload a photo, screenshot, or graphic, then layer captions, watermarks, headlines, or memes on top — with full control over font, size, weight, color, stroke, shadow, opacity, and rotation. Everything renders on a local HTML canvas; your image never leaves your device.

How to use it

STEP 1
Upload your image
Drop any PNG, JPG, or WebP into the uploader.
STEP 2
Add and style text
Add layers, pick a font, tweak stroke/shadow, drag on the canvas.
STEP 3
Download
Export a PNG, JPEG, or WebP at the original resolution.

Pro Tip: Add a thin dark stroke (2–4px) on light text so it stays readable over busy backgrounds.

Frequently asked questions

Is my image uploaded anywhere?: No. Rendering happens in your browser on an HTML canvas; the file never leaves your device.
Can I add multiple text blocks?: Yes — add as many layers as you need, each with its own font, color, and position.
Does it keep the original resolution?: Yes. Text is drawn onto the full-resolution image and exported at that size.
Which formats can I download?: PNG (best for transparency and sharp text), JPEG, and WebP with quality control.
