Questions

How do I make text readable on a busy photo?+

Turn on the shadow, add a dark outline, or put a semi-transparent box behind the text.

Which fonts can I use?+

Sans, serif, mono, an Impact style, handwritten and rounded. They use your device’s fonts, so they can look slightly different on another computer.

Can I add more than one text?+

Yes. Add the tool again for each text; every step has its own text and position.

Are my photos uploaded?+

No. The text is added in your browser, and the photo never leaves your device.
