Add Text to Image

Add a caption, label or date to JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, GIF, BMP, SVG, ICO or TIFF images. Use Batch for the same text on many images, or Interactive Editor for text boxes you type and style on each photo.

Your photos are never uploaded

Work on one photo or a batch. Edit in editor opens one original photo separately.

  • Add the same text to every image
  • Compare before saving
About Batch and Interactive Editor

How to use Interactive Editor

  1. Choose Interactive Editor to open batch originals on separate pages, or choose images directly in the editor.
  2. Choose Text to add a text box, then type on the photo and style it. Use Pages to move between photos; each page keeps its own edits.
  3. Choose a format, use Export image, then download the result. Export all pages (ZIP) saves every page. Save project keeps layers editable.

Switching to the editor opens originals on separate pages. Each page is edited individually, with no Apply to all pages. Batch settings and results stay separate from editor edits. Switching back restores each mode's session until reload.

Export one editor page or all pages as a ZIP. Save project keeps editable layers and embedded original image bytes, including original metadata. Exported images are rebuilt from pixels and do not retain that metadata.

How it works

Batch: how to add text to images

  1. Add up to 20 images — JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, GIF, BMP, SVG, ICO or TIFF. They stay in your browser.
  2. Type your text, then choose the Font, Text colour and Size. A Box or Outline keeps it readable on busy photos.
  3. Pick a spot such as bottom centre, or drag the text on the preview, then add the text and download each image or a ZIP. Add Resize, Format or Compress if needed.
Frequently asked questions

Batch details

6 answers
Can I add the same caption to many photos?

Yes. In Batch, add up to 20 images, type the text once and choose where it goes. Every image gets the text in the same relative spot and size, ready to download one by one or as a ZIP.

How do I keep text readable on a busy photo?

Choose Background → Box for a solid or see-through panel behind the letters, or Outline for a contrasting edge around them. Bold text in white on a dark box at 60% opacity works on most photos.

How is this different from Watermark Image?

Watermark Image is for protection: faint marks, logos and repeated tiles across the picture. Add Text to Image is for captions, labels, dates and titles meant to be read, with a box or outline behind the text.

Can I type directly on the photo and style single words?

Yes, in Interactive Editor. Add text boxes, type on the canvas, select words to change their font, colour or weight, and move, resize or rotate each box. Each photo has its own page and edits.

Is this the same as extracting text?

No. This tool adds text you type. Use Extract Text to copy existing words from screenshots, scans or PDFs.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Adding text, previewing and saving happen in your browser. Keep the tab open until you download your images; reloading clears the batch. Website hosting and performance measurement are described in our Privacy notice.
