Add Text to Image Online Free — Photo Text Editor, No Upload

Add unlimited draggable text layers to any image. Choose fonts, colors, shadow and outline. Download as PNG. Free, no signup, runs entirely in your browser.

Skycally's Add Text to Image tool lets you place unlimited customizable text layers on any photo, directly in your browser. Upload an image, type your text, adjust the font, size, color, shadow, and outline, then drag each layer to exactly where you want it on the canvas — no server upload, no account required.

Seven font families cover the most popular text styles: Impact for classic meme captions, Arial for clean modern text, Georgia for elegant serif headings, Courier New for monospace or code-style text, Verdana for highly legible body text, Comic Sans for casual creative use, and Times New Roman for traditional document-style text.

Each text layer supports independent customization: bold and italic toggles, drop shadow for depth and readability on any background, and stroke outline with adjustable color and width. Layers are listed in a sidebar panel — click any layer name to select and edit it, or delete it. The selected layer is highlighted on the canvas with a dashed blue border.

All rendering runs locally in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device. The final export is a full-resolution PNG combining the original image and all text layers — ready to share, post, or print.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add multiple text layers?

Yes. Add unlimited text layers — each with independent font, size, color, shadow, and outline settings. Click any layer in the list to select and edit it.

How do I move text on the image?

Click any text on the canvas to select it (shown with a blue dashed border), then drag it to your desired position.

What fonts are available?

Impact, Arial, Georgia, Courier New, Verdana, Comic Sans MS, and Times New Roman. Impact is the classic choice for memes and bold captions.

Can I add a text watermark?

Yes. Add your brand name or copyright notice as a text layer, choose a light color with low visual weight, and position it in a corner.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device.

What is the output format?

The final image is downloaded as a full-resolution PNG combining your original image and all text layers.

Can I edit a text layer after adding it?

Yes. Click the layer in the sidebar list or click its text on the canvas to select it. An edit panel appears where you can change the text, size, and color.

Does this work on mobile?

Yes, though dragging text layers on mobile uses touch events. For precise positioning on small screens, a desktop browser is recommended.
