Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. The text is drawn entirely inside your browser and your images never travel over the network.

Can I remove the text afterwards?

Not from the exported image: the text is baked into the pixels. Your original file is never overwritten, though, so you can start again from it whenever you want a different result.

My text disappears into the background. What should I do?

Add an outline. White text with a thin black outline stays readable over both bright and dark areas. If it is still hard to read, raise the font size or move the text to a calmer part of the photo.

Can I add more than one line of text?

Yes. Press Enter in the text box and the line break is kept. The line spacing follows the font size.

Can I put the same text on many photos at once?

Yes. Drop in as many images as you like and the same settings apply to all of them. The font size is a percentage of each image's shorter edge, so mixed sizes still look consistent.

Is there a limit on how many images I can process?

No. There is no sign-up, no login, no daily limit and no cap on the number of files. Download them one by one or all together as a ZIP.

Add Text to Image

Add text to photos and images. Pick the size, color, outline and position while you watch the preview. Works on several JPG, PNG and WebP files at once without uploading them.

Your input stays in your browser and is never sent.

Drop images here or click to chooseJPG, PNG or WebP (several at once). The first one is previewed and the same settings apply to all. Images never leave your device.

What the add text to image tool can do (size, color, outline, position)

This tool lays text over an image and bakes it into the pixels. You choose the size, the color, the opacity, the width and color of the outline, the angle and where the text sits, and you can switch bold on or off. The preview updates as you go, so you see the result before you save it. It handles .jpg, .png and .webp, and you can drop in as many images as you like and label them all at once.

The font size is a percentage of the image's shorter edge. Drop a 1600×1200 px photo and an 800×600 px photo in together and the text still looks the same relative size on both. You place the text by dragging it on the preview, and the arrow keys nudge it. With Add text you can stack up to 10 text layers on the same photo, such as a signature and a date, each with its own size and color, burned in together.

Line breaks in the text box are kept, so two-line labels such as a date and a place, or a product name and a price, come out in one pass.

Three steps to put text on a photo

ChooseDrag and drop the images you want to label (.jpg / .png / .webp). Several at once is fine, and the first one is shown in the preview.
AdjustType your words into Text to add, then set the size, color, outline and position. The preview redraws immediately, so you can check the result before you commit to it.
SavePress Add text to image(s), then save the results one by one or all together as a ZIP. Your original files are never overwritten.

Outlines that keep the text readable on any photo

White text placed straight onto a photo vanishes the moment it crosses a bright sky or a white wall. Black text sinks into night scenes and shadows. In both cases the text is relying on color alone while the background underneath it is unknown.

An outline fixes this, because the edge of every letter is then drawn in a color that differs from whatever is behind it. White text with a thin black outline is the hardest combination to get wrong, and it is what the tool starts with, so keep it if you are unsure.

Photos with both bright and dark areas: Use white text with a black outline around 6%. Where sky meets ground, the letters keep their shape on both sides of the line.
A caption you do not want to shout: Set the outline to zero and lower the opacity. This suits photo credits and other text that only needs to be read by the people looking for it.

The photos you add text to are never sent to a server

Everything happens inside your browser. Reading the image, drawing the text over it and building the file you download all take place on the page you have open, and the photo itself never travels over the network.

That is why photos of people or documents you have not published are safe to drop in. Whatever you add disappears the moment you close the tab.

When you want a tiled watermark on the image instead

By default this tool puts a single piece of text exactly where you place it. That suits a copyright line in a corner, a product name across the middle, or a date along the bottom.

Switch Placement to Tile across and this tool can repeat the text over the whole image too. If the goal is to discourage reuse, though, the image watermark tool is quicker: it opens with faint, angled text already tiled across the image, so you do not have to set opacity, angle and spacing from scratch.
