Why use Add Text?

Captions and labels

I built it for image comments and quick education screens that need a clear caption.

Font and color control

It gives you a text layer without moving the file through a full creative workspace.

Movable overlay

The browser editor makes it easy to move an overlay until it feels right.

Baked-in export

This is useful when you need to mark an image without changing the original photo content.

Text overlays rely on a readable font, enough contrast, and enough image space. A very small photo or a dark background can make the label harder to see.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about this tool — privacy, formats, limits, and how processing works.

Choose top, center, or bottom. The server draws the caption with a small margin from the edge so the text stays readable inside the frame.

Set the caption string, font size (8–400), and a hex color such as #FFFFFF. Preview updates in the browser; Convert applies the overlay on the server.

No. ImageToolkit returns a new download (named with a _text suffix). Your upload is processed for the request and is not kept in a permanent gallery.

The tool keeps your upload’s format when possible (for example PNG stays PNG). If the format cannot be saved that way, it falls back to PNG.

Yes. Uploads are capped at 15 MB, and each image edge must be 6000 pixels or less.
