Frequently asked questions

How do I add text to a photo?
Upload the photo, type your text, then drag it where you want it and adjust the font, colour and outline. Export a PNG when you are happy.
Can I add more than one text layer?
Yes. Add as many text layers as you need, each with its own font, colour, size and position.
Will the text stay sharp?
Yes. The text is drawn at the photo’s full resolution on export, so it stays crisp even though the preview is scaled to fit your screen.
Can I outline the text so it reads over a busy photo?
Yes. Add an outline in any colour and set its thickness so the text stays readable against a light or busy background.
