Add text to an image

When this tool is useful

Simple captions, labels, watermarks, and social graphics when editable text layers are unnecessary.

How local processing works

The browser lays out the entered string on a canvas and burns glyph pixels into a newly encoded image.

How to use it

Prepare Add text to an image: Work from a copy and confirm exact spelling, manual line breaks, generic-font glyph coverage, font size, color, x/y position, safe area, and contrast. Keep the source unchanged.
Apply Add text to an image: Process locally in the browser. The browser lays out the entered string on a canvas and burns glyph pixels into a newly encoded image.
Download and verify: Save under a new name. Proofread at 100%, check all scripts and line breaks, preview on light and dark displays, and confirm no glyph or edge is clipped.

Important limitations

Text becomes non-editable pixels; the browser's generic font can vary, missing glyphs can appear, lines do not wrap automatically, and contrast can fail at other display sizes.
