Add Text to Image

Overlay a single line of text on JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF photos entirely in your browser: edit the caption, font size (8–200px), fill color, horizontal and vertical position (0–100%), and optional dark stroke for contrast. Live preview; download as PNG, JPEG, or WebP with a quality slider for lossy formats. Canvas rendering stays local—no upload. GIF animation is not preserved when exporting.

What does Add Text to Image do?

Dynamic Duniya’s Add Text to Image is a lightweight, client-side captioning utility. Load a JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF raster, type your line of text, tune size and color, drag horizontal and vertical sliders to place the label anywhere on the frame (values are percentages of image width and height), and toggle a dark stroke when you need contrast on busy backgrounds. A live preview updates as you edit; when you are happy, download a flattened PNG, JPEG, or WebP file with an optional quality control for lossy exports.

Typography and limitations

  • Rendering uses the browser’s system UI font stack (system-ui / Segoe UI / sans-serif) at semibold weight for predictable cross-platform results—custom brand fonts are not embedded.
  • One centered text string is drawn per export; multi-line layouts, curved paths, or drop shadows beyond the stroke are out of scope—use Figma or Photoshop for complex typography.
  • Animated GIFs decode to raster frames; the downloaded image is a static PNG, JPEG, or WebP without motion.

Privacy and GEO

All compositing happens with the Canvas API in your tab—your photo bytes are not uploaded to Dynamic Duniya servers. That makes the tool convenient for social managers in India, the United States, the United Kingdom, the EU, and anywhere else you need a quick overlay without routing assets through a third-party API. Ensure outbound access is only to our normal site bundle; no extra model CDN is required for this utility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my photo uploaded to your servers?

No. The image is decoded locally, drawn to a canvas with your text, and exported as a Blob for download without leaving the browser.

Can I use custom fonts or multiple lines?

This tool intentionally uses system fonts and a single string for speed and reliability. For bespoke typography or paragraphs, export from a dedicated design application.

Does the outline option add a full drop shadow?

Optional “Dark outline for readability” draws a stroke around the glyphs before filling them—it is not a soft shadow blur.

Which export format should I pick?

PNG preserves lossless pixels and transparency when the source had alpha; JPEG and WebP are smaller for photographic posts—tune the quality slider to balance artifacts.

Will GIF animation be kept?

No. The merged canvas is encoded as a static PNG, JPEG, or WebP file.

Is Add Text to Image free worldwide?

Yes. Usage is free at the point of use; structured data includes a zero-price offer for consistency with other Dynamic Duniya utilities.

Image Compression

New

Compress JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF on the server (up to 10 MB per file). Drag-and-drop or browse, set quality 1–100 and optional max width in pixels (scales down only; default 1920). See before/after byte sizes when meta is returned, then download the compressed image.

Image Resize

New

Resize or reframe JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF entirely in your browser: set target width and height, optionally lock aspect ratio, then choose how pixels map—Fit (letterbox on white), Cover (center crop to fill), or Stretch. Export as JPEG, PNG, or WebP with a quality slider for lossy formats. Decoding and canvas work stay on your device (no upload). Animated GIFs flatten when exporting to static formats.

Image Format Converter (JPG / PNG / WebP)

New

Convert JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF sources to JPEG, PNG, or WebP in your browser: live preview updates as you switch format, quality slider for lossy JPEG and WebP, lossless PNG (no quality control). Decoding and encoding stay on your device—no upload. GIF sources decode to a static frame; animation is not preserved in the output file.

Rotate & Flip Image

New

Rotate JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF photos in 90° steps (90°, 180°, −90°), flip horizontally or vertically, combine transforms, reset to original, and preview on canvas—all in your browser. Download keeps PNG/WebP as those types and uses JPEG for other extensions (including GIF sources). Live PNG preview; no upload. GIF animation is not preserved on export.

Image Background Remover

New

Cut out subjects in your browser with the IMG.LY ONNX + WASM segmentation model (ISNet quantized): first visit downloads WASM and model weights from their CDN (~tens of MB, then cached). Long edges above 2048px are scaled down before inference; max file size 8MB for stability. Export transparent PNG with checkerboard preview. Your pixels are not uploaded to Dynamic Duniya—only model assets load from the vendor CDN.

Image Watermarking

New

Add visible raster watermarks in your browser: text mode (custom string, font size 10–120, white fill with stroke) or image mode (second PNG/JPEG/WebP/GIF scaled to 6–45% of the base width), opacity and placement (top left/right, center, bottom left/right), live preview, then download PNG, JPEG, or WebP with quality for lossy formats. Canvas compositing stays local—no upload. Not invisible EXIF copyright metadata; GIF animation is not preserved on export.
