How to Add Text to an Image
Adding text to images is the go-to operation for meme creation, annotating screenshots, and adding captions to covers. InkStu's text-on-image tool runs entirely in your browser — images are never uploaded. It supports multi-line text with automatic word wrap, custom font size and colors, an outline effect, three positions (top/bottom/center), and an optional translucent backdrop bar for readability on light images. White text with a black outline — the classic meme look — stays readable on any background. Output is a PNG with one-click download: watermark-free, unlimited, and completely free.
Text on Image FAQ
Are emoji supported?
Yes. Text is rendered with system fonts, so emoji display in your device's style. Chinese, Japanese, Korean and other scripts work too.
What happens with long text?
Text wraps automatically to the image width — no manual line breaks needed. You can still press Enter to control paragraph breaks.
How do I keep text readable on light images?
Two ways: enable the outline (white text with black outline is the classic meme style), or enable the translucent backdrop bar. You can combine both.
Are images uploaded anywhere?
No. Compositing happens on a local canvas in your browser — images never leave your device.
How is this different from the Watermark tool?
The Watermark tool is for copyright protection (tiled, translucent, 9-position grid); this tool is for content creation (large text, auto-wrap, meme style). They complement each other.
