Frequently asked questions
How do I make text readable on a busy photo?
Turn on the outline or a background box. White text with a dark outline, or a dark box behind the text, works on almost any picture.
Can I write on several lines?
Yes. Press Enter in the text field to start a new line; the alignment applies to all lines.
Is it free?
Yes. Browser tools on PhotoTools are free, unlimited and work without an account.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device, and nothing is stored.
