How image text overlay works
The browser draws your image, adds the text using the selected color and placement, and exports the combined result. A subtle outline helps the text remain readable on different backgrounds.

• Place custom wording near the top, center, or bottom of an image.
• Choose a text color that matches the photo or graphic.
• Create a downloadable copy without editing the original file.
Benefits of putting text on images
• Captions can explain an image without requiring a separate paragraph.
• Labels make screenshots and product photos easier to understand.
• Text overlays help social posts communicate faster in busy feeds.
