How to add text to a photo

  1. 1.Upload an image — JPG, PNG, WebP or any other common format.
  2. 2.Type your caption. Line breaks work, so a long caption can be split across lines.
  3. 3.Set the font, size and colour. An outline keeps light text readable on a light background.
  4. 4.Drag the caption to the right spot directly on the image.
  5. 5.Click Download image — the file is saved as a PNG at the original resolution.

What the tool can do

Six fonts available on every system, with full Latin and Cyrillic coverage.

Size is set as a percentage of the photo height, so the caption looks the same on images of any size.

An outline of any colour and thickness keeps text readable on a busy background.

Adjustable opacity for watermarking a photo.

Multi-line captions, centred relative to each other and moved as one block.

The image never leaves the browser — no uploads and no limit on how many photos you edit.

About adding text to photos

A caption turns a photo into a greeting card, a meme, an announcement or a watermarked image. Here the text is drawn straight onto the picture inside your browser: nothing is uploaded, so editing is instant and the photo stays with you. The downloaded file keeps the original resolution — the caption scales with the image, so it will not come out tiny on a large photo.

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The image is opened and processed on your own device and is never sent to a server or stored anywhere. That is why the tool responds instantly and is safe for personal photos and documents.

What quality is the saved image?

The original resolution. The on-screen preview is scaled down so dragging stays smooth, but on download the caption is redrawn on the full-size image. The file is saved as PNG, which keeps text sharp with no compression artefacts.

Can I write several lines?

Yes — press Enter in the text field. Lines are centred relative to one another and the whole block moves together.

How do I make a watermark?

Lower the opacity, pick white or grey and place the caption in a corner. For stronger protection, increase the size: a large semi-transparent caption across the frame is much harder to remove than a small signature.

The text is hard to read against the background — what do I do?

Use the outline: choose a colour that contrasts with the text and increase its thickness. White text with a black outline stays readable on almost any background, which is why memes and subtitles use it.
