Add Text to Image Free Online — Caption Photos Fast

Add text overlays to photos for promos, quote cards, social posts, announcement graphics, and thumbnail-style browser workflows.

Add Text to Image is useful when the image itself is ready but the asset still needs a headline, short caption, or launch message. The workflow helps create quick visual communication pieces without moving into a full design app.

How to Use It

  1. Upload your image and wait for the local preview to load.
  2. Adjust the settings — Type a headline, optionally add a subline, choose a layout style and position, then export the final captioned image.
  3. Download the result after the tool renders on your device.

Why People Use Add Text to Image

Keep the headline short, use the subline only when it adds context, and choose Banner when the image background is visually busy.

Formats and Output

Supports JPG, PNG, and WebP. The text overlay is baked into the final image and can be exported as PNG, JPG, or WebP.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add both a headline and a smaller subline?

Yes. Use the Headline field for the main message and Subline for secondary context or a call to action.

Boxed puts text inside a compact card, Banner stretches the overlay wider across the frame, and Outline keeps the background lighter while emphasizing the text edge.
