Outline = instant pop
A thin outline (about 5–10% of your font size) makes words readable on busy photos—like a sticker around your letters.

5 Fun Facts about Adding Text to Images
PNG loves sharp edges
Captions look crisper when you save as PNG (lossless). JPEG can add little “fuzzies” around letters.
Crisp exports
Rule of thirds
Placing text near the grid’s thirds lines feels balanced and pro. Try a corner intersection for captions!
Photo composition
Fonts are outfits
All caps is loud, script feels friendly, monospace looks techy. Pick a “voice” that matches your photo’s mood.
Tone & style
Nudge like a pro
Use arrow keys for pixel-perfect moves (hold Shift for bigger steps). Tiny nudges = tidy layouts.
Precise placement
