Free to try.

Add text to any image — captions, headlines, watermarks, quote overlays. 100+ fonts (including Google Fonts), full colour control, outline and shadow effects, drag-to-position. Output preserves the original image quality with the text composited cleanly.

Common use cases

  1. Social media captions: overlay quotes on photos for Instagram or Pinterest.
  2. Memes: classic top/bottom text. Use our dedicated Meme Generator for the meme-specific shortcuts.
  3. Watermarks: simple text watermarks. Use Add Watermark for proper anti-theft watermarks.
  4. Product image labels: price tags, feature callouts.
  5. Event invitations: overlay date and venue on a photo.

Typography options

  • 100+ fonts from Google Fonts, plus system stack.
  • Size, weight, style: regular, bold, italic, light.
  • Colour, opacity, blend mode.
  • Outline (stroke): coloured outline for legibility on busy backgrounds.
  • Drop shadow: for depth and contrast.
  • Background plate: coloured rectangle behind text.
  • Letter spacing, line height, alignment.

Tips for readable text on photos

Backgrounds with busy detail kill text legibility. Three fixes: (1) outline the text, (2) add a drop shadow, or (3) put a semi-transparent dark/light plate behind it. The first two work for short captions; the plate is for longer text. For darker plates over photos, also consider darkening the photo with our Vignette tool first.

Bulk processing

Premium accounts can apply the same text overlay to a batch of images — useful for consistent branding across product photos or social campaigns.
