About the Add Text to Image

Add Text to Image writes captions, quotes, names, prices or dates directly onto your pictures. You can type several lines, choose from ten common fonts, and set the size as a percent of the image width, so the text looks the same on small and large photos. Long lines wrap automatically, so the words always stay inside the picture.

Clear text on an image tells people what they are looking at. Shops add prices to product photos, teachers label diagrams, and creators add titles to posts and thumbnails. An outline, a shadow or a solid background box keeps the words readable on busy photos. Img Stop draws the text in your browser, so it works on Android, iPhone and computers without installing an app.

When to use it

  • Add prices and product names to photos for selling on WhatsApp or Instagram.
  • Write a quote or a poem on a nice background photo to share.
  • Label a diagram, map or screenshot for a class or a report.
  • Put a title on a blog image or a simple video thumbnail.

Tips for the best result

  • White text with a black outline is the easiest to read on almost any photo.
  • The default position, 50% across and 85% down, puts text at the bottom center – a safe spot that rarely covers faces.
  • Turn on Background box when the area behind the text has many colors or fine details.
  • For Urdu, Arabic or Hindi, check the preview and try another font if some letters do not show correctly.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add text to a photo?

Open Img Stop's Add Text to Image tool and add your photo. Type your words in the Text box, then choose a font, size and color. Move the position sliders to place the text and watch the live preview. When it looks right, press Save image to download.

How do I make text readable on a busy photo?

Increase the Outline slider so each letter gets a dark or light edge, or turn on Shadow. For the strongest contrast, tick Background box and choose a box color, such as black behind white text. Bold text in a larger size also helps on small phone screens.

Can I write text in Urdu, Arabic or Hindi?

Yes. You can type or paste text in any language. The letters are drawn with the fonts installed on your device, so most phones and computers show Urdu, Arabic, Hindi and other scripts correctly. Check the preview, and try another font if some letters do not appear.

How do I add the same text to several images?

Add all the images together. The same text, style and position settings are applied to every image. Size and position are set in percent, so the text fits each photo even if their sizes differ. Press Save image and download them one by one or as a ZIP.

Can I move the text to an exact spot?

Yes. Use the Horizontal position and Vertical position sliders, which go from 0% to 100% of the image. For example, 50% and 10% puts the text at the top center. Use Align to make the lines line up on the left, center or right of that point.
