Frequently asked questions

How do I add text to a picture?

Drop your photo above (or pick a sample), choose Heading, Subheading or one of the text designs, and start typing — the words appear right on the picture. Drag the text where you want it, style it from the toolbar, then click Download.

How do I change the words after adding text?

Double-click the text on the picture (double-tap on a phone), or select it and press Enter or the pencil button. Type your new words, then click anywhere else or press Esc when you’re done.

Is it really free, with no watermark?

Yes. There’s no signup, no daily limit and nothing is stamped on your picture. The image you download is exactly what you see in the editor.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The editor runs entirely in your browser. Your picture never leaves your device, so it’s safe for private photos and client work.

Will the text look the same in the downloaded image?

Yes. Text is drawn at your photo’s full resolution with the same font, size, outline, shadow and position you see on screen, whatever zoom level you were working at.

Can I make a meme with top and bottom text?

Yes. Pick the Top text design for the classic white Impact lettering with a black outline, duplicate it with Ctrl/⌘ + D, and drag the copy to the bottom.

Can I add a logo or watermark to my photo?

Yes. Use Add Images in the right panel to place a logo or another picture on top, then lower its transparency under Effects for a subtle watermark.

Which formats can I download?

PNG (lossless, keeps transparency), JPG and WebP, all at the original image size. If you save a transparent image as JPG, the background is filled white instead of black.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Open the page on any phone or tablet, tap the drop area to choose a photo from your gallery, and double-tap text to edit it.
