Add Text to Any Image
Place captions, labels and titles anywhere on a photo, then drag, resize and rotate them and style them with fonts, colours, outlines, shadows and background boxes. Editing happens in your browser, so the picture stays on your device.
Your image is processed by your own browser and never uploaded. Many online editors send your photo to their servers and delete it later — this one never receives it at all.

Add Text to Image: frequently asked questions
How do I add text to a photo?
Drop the photo in and type your words into the text box that appears. Drag the box to where you want it, pull its corner handle to resize it or its top handle to rotate it, and pick a font and colour. Add an outline or shadow if the background is busy, then save the image at full resolution.
How do I make text readable on a busy background?
Use a thick outline in a contrasting color, a soft drop shadow, or a semi-transparent box behind the words. White text with a dark outline works on almost any photo. Keep captions short and large enough to read comfortably on a phone screen.
Can I add more than one text box?
Yes. Add as many text boxes as you need, each with its own font, size, color, rotation and position. That makes it easy to combine a bold headline with a smaller subtitle, label several parts of a diagram, or add a date in one corner and a credit in another.
Which fonts can I use?
Inter for clean modern text, Playfair Display for elegant headings, Anton for bold headlines, Caveat for a handwritten look and Pacifico for script. They're open-licence fonts served by ImageSpark itself, so the saved image looks the same on every device. Letters outside the Latin alphabets use your device's own fonts.
Will adding text reduce image quality?
No. The text is drawn onto your image at its original resolution, and you can keep the original format or save a lossless PNG to avoid compression artifacts. Large photos keep their detail, so captions stay crisp when printed or viewed on high-resolution screens.
Is my image uploaded to add text?
No. The text is rendered by your browser on your own device, so the image never reaches a server. That keeps personal photos, client work and unreleased designs private, and there's no waiting for an upload or download, even when you're editing large, high-resolution pictures.
