How to add text to an image
Drag a photo into the box — it opens locally and is never uploaded. Click Add text and a new text layer appears on the image; type whatever you need, including multiple lines.
Drag the text into place — it moves exactly where you drop it. Pick a font, size and color; the eyedropper lets you click anywhere on the photo to copy that exact color, so your text blends with the original.
Use More options for rotation, letter spacing, outline and shadow. Then click Download — the text is rendered at the photo's full original resolution, not screen size.
Know-how
Why a real text tool beats paint programs
Generic paint tools commit the text as pixels the moment you type — move it later and the background comes with it. A layer-based text tool keeps every line editable forever: change the wording, font, size or color at any point, and only the text changes, never the photo underneath. That single difference decides whether a typo costs you thirty seconds or a full redo.
The eyedropper: matching the photo's own colors
Text that clashes with a photo usually clashes on color, not on font. The eyedropper solves it in one click: sample the dominant tone of the area where the text will sit — a wall, a sky, a label — and your new text uses the photo's own palette. For replacement text that must look original, sample the exact color of the old text before erasing it. When the photo has no matching tone, pick the opposite: white text with shadow on dark areas, black on light ones.
Outline and shadow: the readability tools
White text disappears on a light sky; black text vanishes on dark clothing. The two classic fixes are a thin outline and a soft shadow. For photos, prefer a subtle shadow over a hard outline — it looks natural. For memes and price tags, the hard outline wins: thick black contour around yellow or white text reads at a glance. A shadow plus outline together is almost always too much; pick one.
Watermarks that protect without ruining the photo
A good watermark is visible when checked and quiet when viewed. The recipe: small text in a corner, opacity 40–60%, no outline. Corner placement survives cropping better than the center, and low opacity means the photo still previews cleanly. Batch mode turns the recipe into a workflow: set it once, tick Keep for next image, and stamp a folder of photos one click each. One caution — a watermark deters casual copying, not determined removal; the honest protection is uploading at modest resolution.
The three-step text replacement workflow
Editing text that is already baked into a photo — a sign, a price, a caption — follows a fixed three-step rhythm: remove, place, match. Step one: erase the old text with the Remove Text tool, which reconstructs the background behind it. Step two: add the new text here and drag it into the vacated spot. Step three: eyedropper the old color (sample it before erasing) and match size and rotation. The result is not an AI re-render of the original lettering, but in most practical cases it is indistinguishable at a glance — and it never uploads your photo.
E-commerce text: watermarks and price tags that convert
Sellers put text on product photos for two jobs: protecting images with watermarks and showing offers with price tags or badges. The batch watermark mode stamps the same text — brand or shop name — on every image you load, with adjustable opacity, rotation and outline, so one setup covers the whole catalog. Promo graphics get price-tag and date-stamp presets in one click. Everything runs in your browser: even unpublished product photography never leaves your machine.
Frequently asked questions
Is the text editor free?+
Yes, with no limits. Adding text runs entirely in your browser — no server, no upload, no watermark, and as many layers as you like.
Is the exported text sharp?+
Yes. The text is re-rendered at the photo's full original resolution when you download — crisp on any screen, not stretched from the preview.
Can I edit text already in the photo?+
Yes — as a three-step workflow: erase the old text with the Remove Text tool, come back here to place the new text in the same spot, and use the eyedropper to copy the original color. The result matches the photo's original look in most cases.
Which fonts are available?+
Over 20 fonts from the ones installed on every device — including Chinese, Japanese and Korean fonts. The text renders with the same fonts on the final export, so what you see is what you get.
Can I watermark many photos at once?+
Yes — set up your text once, tick Keep for next image, and download. Every photo you load afterwards keeps the same layers in place, so you can watermark a whole batch one by one with one click each.
Can I batch watermark product photos?+
Yes. Turn on the batch switch, set your text once — brand name, shop name or copyright — and the same watermark is applied to every image you load, at the position, opacity and angle you choose. Export each photo with the watermark baked in.
