How to add readable text to a picture

Features and controls

Add and position text

Use the text tool to place your wording on the image.

How to refine the text

Edit the text on the canvas, change its styling with the text controls, and position it where it remains readable. Check the design at the size your audience will see it.

Layer the finishing details

Move and resize the elements directly on your picture.

How to keep the composition clear

Text, drawings, shapes and imported images become part of the composition. Keep important subjects visible and check contrast around the added elements.

Review with undo and history

Undo an edit, zoom in, or inspect History while refining the design.

What is preserved while editing

Your changes remain editable within the current editor. The exported image is flattened; it is not a project file that preserves separate text, shapes and layers.

Choose the file you will use

Select File format before Start, then download the finished result.

What is saved

Select File format, then Start to export the current canvas. PNG supports transparent areas. JPG uses an opaque image, while WebP is another image format option. The photo editing and export run in this browser. Animated WebP is flattened to one still canvas rather than preserved as animation.

Work with WebP and HEIC

Use common web and phone image formats.

Input preparation and output behavior

WebP and HEIC can be uploaded alongside the other formats listed for this tool. HEIC uses its first image with orientation applied. Full-resolution HEIC pixels are prepared with temporary server processing when a browser editor needs them.

Choose image export options

For a single image result: review a raster result and choose its download format.

Formats, quality, animation and saving

These controls are available for a supported single image result, not a ZIP archive. Above the image results, choose a file if needed and open Image options. Original keeps the current file bytes and format until you explicitly choose an export or change an image setting. PNG, JPG and WebP are available, with quality choices for JPG/WebP and the actual encoded file size. Opening the panel or cancelling does not replace your download. For animated PNG, GIF or WebP, first confirm that you want a separate still-image copy; the animated original remains available. PDF, TIFF, SVG, PostScript and DICOM files keep their native download path. Save changes updates the selected image and any existing ZIP archive. Other images in the batch retain their current contents. Multiple image results use one ZIP download. Use the image selector to review or adjust an individual image; image previews do not each add a Download button.

Prepare a print-sized image

For a single image result: set inches or centimeters and 150 or 300 PPI.

Actual print dimensions and placement

These controls are available for a supported single image result, not a ZIP archive. In Image options, open Print size assistant. Selecting 4 x 6, 5 x 7, 6 x 8, 8 x 10 inches or a custom size enables Apply print size to download. At 300 PPI, 4 x 6 creates 1200 x 1800 pixels and 6 x 8 creates 1800 x 2400 pixels. Fit with margins keeps the whole image on white paper; Fill and crop fills the page using a centered crop. Both preserve proportions. PNG, JPG and WebP exports include print density. Disable the setting to return to the original result dimensions. Resizing does not run AI again or guarantee additional detail.

Compare the image result

For a single image result: inspect matching before-and-after views and save a comparison card.

Alignment and reversible adjustments

These controls are available for a supported single image result, not a ZIP archive. When an aligned original is available, Image options shows a before-and-after divider, synchronized zoom and pan, Fit, 100%, Hold original and Full screen. Download comparison saves a separate PNG card of the current original/result view. No comparison is invented when the source is unavailable or no longer matches the frame.

Files and processing

Input
JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC
Output
PNG, JPG, WEBP

25 MB maximum per file. One input file per run.

Large images also depend on the memory and canvas capacity of your browser.

This tool processes and exports files in your browser. The downloaded image is a separate file; the source on your device is not overwritten.

For an image result, use Continue to below the download results to choose a compatible next step. You can select which images to carry over; the next tool starts with its own settings.

Refreshing an editor or download page returns you to the tool page. Download the result before starting a new workflow. See our Privacy Policy for file handling.

FAQ

Good to know.

A few answers before you get started.

On your device
How does Add Text to Image work?

Open a JPG, PNG or WebP, add editable text on the canvas, and export the finished design as an image.

Can I edit the text layers in the downloaded file?

No. Text, shapes and overlays are combined into the downloaded pixels. Keep the editor open until you are happy with the design.

Can I choose an image format or print size after processing?

Yes, for browser-supported raster results. Open Image options, choose PNG, JPG or WebP, or apply a print size. Save the result or download the separate copy indicated by the panel. Animated inputs require confirmation to create a still-frame copy; native document and vector downloads remain available.
