Why Add Text to Images?

  • Create motivational quote images for social media
  • Add captions or labels to educational diagrams
  • Create memes with text overlays
  • Label products in photo catalogs
  • Add your website URL to shared images

Text Placement Tips

  • Choose text color that contrasts with the background area
  • Add a semi-transparent text box behind text for readability on busy backgrounds
  • Use font sizes that scale well: minimum 24pt for any text that needs to be readable
  • Keep text in the safe zones (away from edges) for social sharing

Step-by-Step: Add Text Online

  1. Open Add Text to Image tool.
  2. Upload your photo.
  3. Click to add a text box anywhere on the image.
  4. Type your text, choose font, size, and color.
  5. Drag to position, resize the text box.
  6. Download the final image.

Font Choice for Images

  • Sans-serif fonts (Roboto, Open Sans) — modern, clean, reads well at small sizes
  • Serif fonts (Playfair Display) — elegant, great for quotes
  • Display fonts — high impact but use sparingly
