How to put text on a photo

  1. Add your photo. Drop it in, browse your files, or paste from the clipboard. Tall, wide and very large photos all fit automatically.
  2. Add text. Type in the panel, or double-tap the text on the photo to edit it in place.
  3. Shape it. Pick a font, colour, outline or shadow so the words stay readable over a busy background.
  4. Place it. Drag anywhere, snap to one of nine spots, or rotate with the handle above the text.
  5. Download. The file saves at the photo's original resolution, with nothing added on top.
