Add Text to Image — Captions, Outlines & Stylish Fonts

How it works

This add-text-to-image tool helps you create captions, titles, and labels directly on top of a photo or graphic. It is a simple, browser-based editor designed for quick edits: upload an image, add text boxes, style them, and export the finished result. Because it runs locally in your browser, it is a fast way to add words to pictures without complex software or accounts.

The concept is straightforward. Your image becomes a canvas, and each text box is a movable layer. You can change font size, color, and outline to keep text readable over busy backgrounds. Resizing and nudging make it easy to align captions, and exporting as PNG preserves sharp, clean edges around letters.

To use the tool step by step:

1. Upload or drop an image into the canvas area.
2. Add text to create a resizable text box.
3. Style your text by choosing font, size, color, and outline, then toggle bold, italic, or underline if needed.
4. Position precisely by dragging or using arrow keys for pixel nudges (hold Shift for bigger steps).
5. Export the final image as a PNG file when you are happy with the layout.

This tool is useful for many real-world tasks: creating social media captions, adding watermarks, labeling diagrams for school, building meme-style images, or preparing product photos with price tags. Designers can use it for quick mockups, teachers can add labels to visuals for lessons, and small businesses can create simple promotional graphics in minutes. If you are looking for an online text editor for images, a quick way to add captions to photos, or a lightweight image annotation tool, this page provides an easy, reliable option.

Accessibility & privacy

All processing happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Keyboard controls let you move and edit text boxes precisely, which also helps users who prefer non-mouse input.
