Frequently asked questions

How do I write on a photo?

Add your photo, press “Add text”, type your words and drag them where you want. Then choose a font, size and color and export the image.

Does it support Arabic text?

Yes. Arabic is shaped correctly with connected letters and right-to-left direction, including text that mixes Arabic, English and numbers. Several Arabic fonts such as Cairo, Tajawal and Amiri are included.

Can I add several pieces of text?

Yes. Each text is its own layer that you can move, duplicate, delete and bring forward or send backward.

Will the exported image keep its original size?

Yes. Your text is drawn onto the original photo at full resolution, not onto the small preview, so the export is as sharp as the photo you added.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser and the photo stays on your device.

Put clear, good-looking text on any photo

Whether you are making a quote card, a greeting, a watermark or a thumbnail, adding text to a picture should be quick. This free editor lets you write on photos with a choice of Arabic and English fonts, move each text with your mouse or finger, and style it with color, bold, alignment, letter spacing, line height, opacity, an outline, a soft shadow or a colored box behind the words. You can keep several text layers, reorder them and undo any change.

Arabic writing is handled properly: letters connect correctly, direction switches to right-to-left automatically, and mixed Arabic, English and numbers display as they should. The font files are loaded on this page only and the editor waits for them before drawing, so your export never falls back to a plain font. The finished image is exported at the full resolution of your original photo as PNG or JPG. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no sign-up or watermark. Need a cleaner start? Crop the photo first or remove its background with our other image tools.
