Adding text to an image is one of the fastest ways to turn a plain photo into a useful graphic. You can add a headline, label a product, explain a screenshot, or create a social post without opening a complex design tool.
How to Add Text
Start with these steps:
- Upload the image you want to edit
- Use the text tool to add a new text layer
- Type your caption, title, label, or callout
- Choose a font, size, color, weight, and alignment
- Drag the text layer until it feels balanced with the image
- Export the finished graphic
Where Text Works Best
Place text over areas with enough empty space or use background color, contrast, or shadow to keep the words readable. Avoid covering faces, product details, or important UI elements unless the text is meant to be the main focus.
Useful Text Ideas
Try adding:
- Product prices, badges, and short benefits
- Step numbers on tutorial screenshots
- Event names, dates, and locations
- Social media captions and thumbnail titles
- Short notes for presentations or reports
