About Add Text to Image

Add text to any image with complete control over styling. Choose from multiple fonts, set custom colors, adjust size and position — more versatile than a simple meme generator.

Use text outlines for readability on busy backgrounds, or add a semi-transparent background box behind your text. Perfect for social media posts, thumbnails, announcements, and watermarks.

The 9-point positioning grid makes it easy to place text exactly where you want it — from corners to the center of your image.

Pro Tips

Tip 1

This combination is readable against any background; set outline width to 2-3px for clean edges.

Match Font to Your Message

Use Impact for bold statements, Georgia for elegant quotes, and Arial for clean professional text.

Tip 3

Lower Opacity for Subtle Watermarks

Set opacity to 20-40% so the watermark protects the image without distracting from the content.
