What Is the Add Text to Image Tool?

The Add Text tool lets you overlay custom text on any image directly in your browser. You can choose the font, size, colour, and position, then composite the text onto the image and download the result.

It is ideal for adding captions, quotes, labels, or watermarks without opening a full design application.
