Put custom text on a picture

Use this tool for event labels, product imagery, announcements, or quick social graphics. Text is drawn onto the output canvas with a visible outline so it can remain readable across varied backgrounds.

How to use this tool

Upload a photo or artwork and enter your desired text.
Choose the text size, fill color, and outline color.
Adjust X and Y position and inspect the preview to avoid covering the subject.
Export a new PNG when the wording and alignment look right.

Practical tips

Choose a contrasting outline when the background contains both light and dark areas.
Keep labels away from edges that may be cropped by a social platform.
For multiple independently movable text boxes, open the full canvas editor instead.

Common questions

Can I edit text after downloading?

The exported PNG is flattened. Save a separate copy or use the full editor for more editable text work.

Can I use a custom font here?

This focused tool uses its built-in browser font rather than a custom font uploader.

Limitations: Text drawn by this tool is rasterized into the image when exported.
