Intent-accurate text labeling

Image Annotator adds short text on pin-style callouts — not free-floating typography blocks. For headlines, quotes, or custom fonts with drag positioning, use Pix-8 Text Overlay. For screenshot notes tied to a specific element, labeled markers are faster and stay sharp when resized.

Why add text to images in the browser?

Cloud editors upload your file before you type a single character. Pix-8 keeps labeling local — the core advantage when you need to add text to image onlinewithout exposing sensitive screenshots.

Your image stays local

Text labels render on a client-side canvas — screenshots of dashboards, mockups, and client work never touch a cloud server.

Caption in seconds

No upload queue. Click to place a callout, type your label, and export a flattened image without round-trip latency.

Context where it belongs

Short labels on pin markers keep notes tied to the exact pixel — clearer than a separate message explaining what you mean.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Upload your image

    Drop a screenshot or photo into the Image Annotator. The file loads locally — no sign-in, no cloud storage.

  2. Step 2

    Place and type your label

    Click where the text should point, enter a short caption — button name, step number, or fix note — and drag the marker to refine.

  3. Step 3

    Flatten and share

    Download or copy one image with every label baked into the pixels — ready for Slack, tickets, or docs.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add free-floating text anywhere on the image?

Not with Image Annotator. This tool attaches short text labels to pin-style callout markers — ideal for naming UI elements, numbering tutorial steps, or noting defects. For draggable headline or banner text with font controls, use Pix-8 Text Overlay instead.

Are my images uploaded when I add text online?

No. Every label is rendered on a client-side canvas in your browser. Your file is read locally and is never sent to Pix-8 or any third-party server.

Is it free to add text to images online with Pix-8?

Yes. No account, watermark, or export limit. Place labeled callouts, edit text in the Inspector, and download or copy the flattened result at no cost.
