About this tool
The text is drawn onto the picture with the Canvas API at the original resolution, so a caption on a 4000-pixel photo stays sharp instead of being scaled up from a preview. Long lines wrap automatically to the image width.
An outline keeps light text readable over a busy background; a few percent of the font size is usually enough. Output is PNG, which keeps letter edges clean — re-encode to JPEG afterwards if you need a smaller file.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
- No. The file is read and drawn locally, and the download comes from your own browser's memory.
- Which fonts can I use?
- The families installed on your device. Impact, a system sans, a serif and a monospace are offered because they exist nearly everywhere.
- Why is the output PNG rather than JPEG?
- PNG is lossless, so text edges stay crisp. Run the result through the image converter if you want JPEG.
