Questions

Image text editor questions

How do I add text to a picture?
Add your image, then type your text in the box. It shows on the image as you type, and you can drag it anywhere, resize it and change the font, size, color, background, shadow and outline. When it looks right, press Download image.
Is the image text editor free?
Yes. It is free and needs no account. A free RobinReach account raises the daily download limit.
Is there a limit?
Only downloads count: 10 a day without an account and 25 with a free account. Uploading, typing and styling use nothing, but once the day's downloads are used the editor waits until the count resets at midnight.
Which image types can I use?
PNG, JPG, GIF and WebP images up to 10 MB. The result downloads as a PNG, so a GIF is saved as a still image.
Can I change the font, size and color?
Yes. There are 12 fonts, including Arial, Georgia, Impact, Courier New and Playfair Display. Which ones show depends on the fonts installed on your device. You can also set the size from 12 to 200, the text color, a background color, bold, italic, underline, a shadow and an outline.
What quality is the download?
A PNG drawn at 3 times the size of the preview, so the text stays sharp. The editor does not add a watermark.
What happens to my image?
The editing happens in your browser. Your image and text are sent to our server only to check them (the file type and size, and the text settings), and nothing is saved.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It works in the browser on iPhone, Android and tablets, with no app to install. Touch and drag to move the text.

A free image text editor for social media graphics

Adding words to a picture is how many social graphics are made: a quote on a photo, a title on a banner, a watermark in the corner. This editor does it in the browser, with no software to install and no account to open.

  • Put a quote or a headline on a photo
  • Add a caption or a title to a post image
  • Place a watermark with your name or handle
  • Make a simple announcement graphic
  • Label a screenshot or a product photo

It's made by RobinReach, the social media scheduler that posts to 13 networks from one calendar, so the finished image can go straight into a scheduled post.

Only add text to images you have the right to use. RobinReach isn't affiliated with the networks named on this page.
