About This Tool
Add Text to Image lets you place high-contrast headlines and captions over any photo directly in your browser. Whether you want to turn a funny snapshot into a meme, label an image before sharing it with colleagues, or add a quick subtitle to a photo, this tool formats the lettering on your device without watermarks or account signups.
Text is rendered in heavy uppercase lettering with a solid black outline, so your words stay easy to read even against busy, colorful, or high-exposure backgrounds. You can adjust the font size between 24px and 96px, change text fill color using the color picker, and download the finished picture as a full-resolution JPEG.
### A Real Example You take a photo of your golden retriever sitting next to a chewed-up cardboard box. You upload the snapshot, enter "CHIEF INSPECTOR" in the top headline field, enter "CASE CLOSED" in the bottom caption field, set the font size to 44px, and hit download. The finished JPEG saves to your downloads folder with the bold lettering cleanly outlined in black, ready to text to a group chat or post to social media.
### How Your Photo Is Processed All processing runs locally in your web browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. When you select an image, your device reads the file into local memory, renders your text layers onto the canvas at the photo's original pixel dimensions, and exports the final JPEG. Your photo is never sent to an external server, uploaded to the cloud, or stored anywhere outside your device.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the text have a black outline?
The black stroke is applied around each letter so that your captions remain readable regardless of the background colors in your photo.
Does adding text reduce the resolution of my photo?
No. The canvas automatically matches your uploaded photo width and height, preserving the original resolution when saving your JPEG.
What font does this tool use?
It uses heavy Impact and Arial Black fonts in uppercase, which is the standard format for high-contrast photo captions and memes.
Are my images uploaded to any server?
No. The tool runs completely inside your web browser. Your photo never leaves your computer, tablet, or phone.
Is there any watermark or subscription required?
No. The tool is free with no watermarks, usage limits, or registration requirements.
