Quick answer

Also takes BMP, GIF, SVG and AVIF. They are turned into PNG first (a GIF keeps its first frame).

How to write on a picture

  1. Drop your JPG, PNG or WebP pictures, or paste them.
  2. Type your text. Press Enter for a new line, up to five lines.
  3. Choose the position, size, color and whether a panel sits behind the text.
  4. Press Add text and download each file, or all of them as a ZIP.

The text size is a share of the picture width, so the same setting looks right on a small photo and a large one. A dark or light panel behind the text keeps it readable on busy pictures.

The preview shows the first picture, and the same text is added to every picture you drop in.

Common questions

Can I put text on a photo without an app?

Yes. Drop the photo here, type the text and download the result. Everything happens in your browser.

Can I choose the font?

Not yet. The text uses a bold system font. More choices are planned.

How do I make the text easy to read?

Use the dark panel with white text, or the light panel with black text. Without a panel, the text gets a soft edge in the opposite color.

Is my picture uploaded?

No. The text is drawn in your browser, so the picture stays on your device.
