Features and how to use them

Start with one image

Upload a photo or try the sample.

Opening the text canvas

The editor accepts JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP and HEIC. Add Text to Image opens the text tool automatically so you can start placing a caption. The image on your device is not overwritten; the finished design is downloaded as a new file.

Create and style the caption

Use the text controls for wording and appearance.

Styling the text layer

Add a text layer and replace its starter wording. Adjust the available font, size, color and style controls, then apply the text. Use a short caption and enough contrast against the image so the result stays readable at the final display size.

Position the text on the canvas

Move, resize or rotate the selected layer.

Arranging and revising a caption

Select the text layer and use its handles to arrange it within the image. Keep important wording away from edges that may be cropped later. Undo and redo let you revise the placement; the editor also provides image editing tools when the background needs an adjustment.

Export the completed picture

Choose PNG, JPG or WebP and save.
