Type a caption, drag it into place, style it as a meme, a quote card or a labeled screenshot, and download — all locally in your browser, nothing uploaded.
Add Text to Image writes words onto a picture the way you actually need them: bold meme-style captions with a black outline that survive any background, subtle caption boxes for photo credits, labels on screenshots, or a big quote across a landscape. Type the text, drag it anywhere on the live preview, and it stays pinned proportionally — so what you see is exactly what exports at full resolution.
Three one-click presets cover the common layouts (meme top, caption bottom, centered), and the styling controls — font family, size as a percentage of image height, color, outline, background box — combine into most looks you'd reach for. Multi-line text is supported; just press Enter. Like every tool here, the image never leaves your browser.
FAQ
How do I position the text precisely?
Drag it directly on the preview — the anchor is stored proportionally, so the text lands in exactly the same relative spot in the exported full-resolution file.
What makes text readable on a busy photo?
Contrast plus an edge: white text with a black outline (the meme preset) works on virtually anything. For quieter designs, use the background box option — a translucent dark strip behind the words.
Can I write multiple lines?
Yes — press Enter in the text box. Lines are centered as a block and share the same style.
Which fonts are available?
Four cross-platform stacks: bold sans (the meme classic), serif, italic serif, and monospace. They render from your system fonts, so they look right and export instantly with no downloads.
How big should the text be?
The size is a percentage of the image height, so it scales with the picture. 8–12% works for captions; memes usually sit at 10–15%.
Can I make a classic top-and-bottom meme?
Yes — add the top line first, download, then load that result and place the bottom line. Or put both lines in one block and drag it where you want.
Does the text get baked into the image?
Yes — the export is a flat PNG/JPG/WebP with the text rendered into the pixels. Anyone can view it anywhere; nothing depends on fonts being installed.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Text is drawn onto a canvas in your browser — the tool works offline once the page has loaded.
