Everything you need in a free add text on image tool
Live text preview
Type captions, labels, or stamps and see them update on your photo instantly — then download a PNG when it looks right.
Flexible placement
Place text in the center, header, or footer. Adjust font, size, color, opacity, and optional diagonal rotation.
Readable on any photo
Turn on a soft outline so light text stays clear over busy backgrounds, product shots, and social graphics.
100% browser-based
Everything runs locally on your device. Your images never upload to Focera servers — private by design.
How It Works
Adding text to a photo should be fast and private. Focera keeps the whole flow on one page — upload, type your message, tune placement, and download without an account or desktop installer.
- Upload your image. Drag and drop a JPG, PNG, or WebP file up to 10 MB, or click the zone to browse from your device.
- Enter text and options. Type your message, then pick position, font, color, size, opacity, rotation, and outline.
- Download the PNG. Preview updates live. When you are happy, export a full-resolution PNG with the text baked in.
Jump back to the add text on image tool anytime to process another file.
Popular Use Cases
- Social captions — Add titles, quotes, or callouts before posting to Instagram, LinkedIn, or Stories.

- Watermark-style marks — Place a light name or URL with lower opacity and optional diagonal rotation.
