## About

Add text to any photo, position it by dragging, and download the result — no upload, no watermark, no account.

## Quick answer

How do I add text to a photo? Upload the image, type your text, drag it into place, and download. The editor runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded and there is no watermark.

## How to add text to a photo

1. **Add your photo** — it stays in your browser.
2. **Type and style** — font, size, color, bold, outline.
3. **Drag to position and download** — the export matches the preview exactly.

## When this is handy

- Quotes and announcements on photos for social media
- Labeling product photos or real-estate shots
- Adding a date, name, or caption before printing

## Good to know

White text with a thin outline stays readable on almost any background — that is why both are on by default. For decorative layouts, the [meme generator](https://toolpantry.app/meme-generator.html) adds classic top-and-bottom captions; for marks you place once and reuse, try [Add a watermark](https://toolpantry.app/image-watermark.html).

## Notes

Drag anywhere on the photo to move the text. The outline keeps it readable on busy backgrounds; the original file is never modified.

## FAQ

**Is there a watermark on the result?**

No. The exported image is exactly what you see in the preview — no watermark, no logo, no signup.

**Is my photo uploaded?**

No. The editor runs entirely in your browser tab; the photo never leaves your device.

**How do I position the text?**

Drag the text directly on the photo — it follows your pointer. The outline option keeps it readable on busy backgrounds.
