What is Image Text Overlay?

Image Text Overlay is a free online tool that lets you add custom text on top of any image. You can control the font family, size, color, position, and style. It is useful for creating watermarked images, social media captions, meme text, photo titles, and branded images. All processing happens in your browser — no images are uploaded to any server.

How to Use Image Text Overlay

Upload an image by dragging it into the drop zone or clicking to browse. Type your text in the input field. Choose a font family, font size, and text color. Set the text position by selecting a preset alignment (center, top-left, bottom-center, etc.) or by dragging the text on the preview. Optionally add a text background or shadow for readability. Click "Download" to save the image with text overlay.

How Image Text Overlay Works

The tool loads your image onto an HTML5 Canvas element. Text is rendered using the Canvas 2D API fillText() method with your chosen font, size, and color. Position is calculated based on your selected alignment or manual coordinates. Optional text shadow is applied using shadowColor and shadowBlur properties. Background highlight uses a filled rectangle behind the text measured with measureText(). Everything runs in your browser.

Common Use Cases

  • Add watermark text to protect photos from unauthorized use
  • Create social media posts with text captions on images
  • Add titles and labels to images for presentations
  • Generate meme-style images with top and bottom text
  • Brand product images with company name or logo text
