How to add readable text to a picture

Advertisements

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

01

Write and position the message

Open Add Text to Image and select Choose images, drag in a supported file, or use the sample. On a phone, open Settings to reach the same controls.

Add a text layer, enter your wording and adjust the font, size, color and position. Keep it inside the visible image boundaries.

Use enough contrast between letters and the image. Review small text at the final display size, not only at a large editor zoom.

02

Review the layers and history

Use the editing toolbar above the image to add or adjust text, shapes and image elements. Use undo or history to compare changes.

Inspect the edges and small details at a useful zoom level. The original on your device remains separate from the exported copy.

Export the edited picture

Choose the offered PNG, JPG or WebP format and save the result.

Keep the downloaded copy before starting a new task. Refreshing an editor or download page returns to the main tool page; normal Back navigation can restore the current workflow.

PNG or WebP can carry transparency; JPG needs a solid background. Review the saved image rather than relying only on the editor preview.
