Add text to a photo, choosing size, color and place

Type a line, pick how large it is, choose a color and where it sits. The canvas draws it on the picture in this tab.

Your file never leaves your device. Processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Location and camera metadata (EXIF) are removed from the result.

Width and height stay the same. The line is drawn on top, with a thin outline so it stays readable. Camera location is not copied.

How to add text to an image

1. Drop one photo or a batch. Audio and PDF files are refused here. 2. Type the line. 3. Leave Medium, or pick Small, Large or Huge. The size is a share of the shorter side, so a batch stays consistent. 4. Pick a color and a position, then press “Add text”.

White text gets a dark outline and dark text gets a light one, so a line still shows on a busy photo. Width and height do not change. Save PNG when you need the sharpest letters. JPG is smaller and is the usual choice for a chat.

A caption, not a watermark

This page draws one readable line in the place you pick. Watermark image is the other page: it can repeat a faint stamp or a logo across the photo. Use that one when the words should sit behind the picture, and this one when someone should read the line.

Long text wraps into a few lines and then stops. A paragraph belongs in a document, not on this canvas. Accented letters in Portuguese and Spanish are drawn with the browser font.

The picture stays in this tab

The browser canvas paints the letters and encodes the file. Camera location is not copied into the download. Close the tab and the photo is gone. There is no account and no upload step.

How to check the caption before you send the photo

1. Open the download next to the original. The line should sit where you picked, and the edges of the photo should still match. 2. If the letters are hard to read, switch to pink or black and run again. 3. Use Watermark image instead when you want a repeated faint stamp.

Huge is a share of the shorter side, so a phone screenshot and a small icon do not get the same pixel size. The outline is part of the drawing. Nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pick the font?

Not on this page. The line uses a bold sans serif that ships with the browser, at the size and color you chose.

Why is there an outline around the letters?

So white text does not disappear on a white sky, and black text does not disappear on a dark jacket. The fill is still the color you picked.

Does the pixel size change?

No. A 1000 by 800 photo stays 1000 by 800. Only the pixels under the letters change.

Is the photo uploaded?

No. The text is drawn in this tab.

The line was cut off. What now?

Shorten the text or pick a smaller size. This page keeps at most a few lines so the caption stays on the photo.

Can I add a logo as well as the words?

Not here. Watermark image accepts a logo file. This page is the readable line.
