Add Text to Image

This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels

Summary

Text-adding tools attach text to images as part of a pixel, not as an editable layer of text. You can set the type, size, color, position, and edge so that the writing stays legible. Since the result is already a raster, save the original file if you need to change the sentence.

Key points

Text stored in JPG or PNG becomes a permanent pixel
The letter size should be adjusted to the image resolution
Edge lines or shadows improve readability in the background
The text position should not cover the important part of the image
Use a font that's licensed to suit the project.
