What fonts are available?

20+ fonts across 5 categories: Display (Anton, Bebas Neue, Bungee, Lobster, Oswald, Pacifico, Righteous, Syne), Sans-serif (Inter, Montserrat, Nunito, Poppins, Raleway, Space Grotesk), Handwriting (Caveat, Dancing Script, Playwrite), Serif (Fraunces, Playfair), and System fonts.

Can I use multiple text layers?

Yes - add as many text layers as you need. Each can have its own font, size, color, and position. Drag any layer to reposition independently.

Can I curve or rotate the text?

Rotation - yes, drag the rotation handle on the selected text. Curved text isn't in this widget yet, but you can open the result in our full editor for advanced text effects.

Will the text be sharp on retina screens?

Yes - text is rendered at the image's native resolution. There's no down-scaling, so the result is crisp at any display density.

Can I add a shadow or outline to text?

Shadow yes, outline coming soon. The shadow toggle in the panel adds a subtle drop-shadow that improves legibility on busy backgrounds.

Does the original photo get changed?

No - the text is composited onto a copy. The download is the new image with text baked in; your source file is untouched.
