How it works

  1. Your browser decodes the image at full resolution.
  2. Your text is drawn where the handle is, sized as a share of the image so it looks the same at any resolution.
  3. The result is saved as a new image. Your original is untouched.

Supported formats

Opens
JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, BMP and GIF (the first frame of an animation)

  • Fonts are your device’s own sans-serif, serif and monospace fonts, so letter shapes can differ slightly between devices.
  • Metadata such as camera details and location is not copied to the new file.

Your image stays on your device

This tool runs entirely in your browser. The image is never uploaded, so there is nothing for us to store, see or delete.

To check, open your browser’s developer tools, switch to the Network tab and use the tool: you will not see your image being sent anywhere.

Questions

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. The image is read and processed by your own browser. Nothing is sent to our servers, so there is no copy of your image anywhere but your own device.

How do I make text readable on a busy photo?

Keep the outline on, or turn on the background box. White text with a dark outline reads on almost any picture.

Can I add more than one piece of text?

This tool places one block of text, which can have several lines. For text in two places, download the result and add the second on top of it.
