What this tool does

  • Draggable text positioning on the canvas
  • Font family, size, and color controls
  • Left, center, and right text alignment
  • Optional text shadow and background box
  • Download or copy flattened output
  • Optional EXIF metadata stripping before export
  • On-device processing — images never uploaded

Built-in font controls, not pin labels

Text Overlay lets you add text to images with fonts on a client-side canvas — sans-serif, serif, monospace, and impact-style options, plus size and color controls. Drag text into place, set alignment, and toggle optional shadow or background box, then download or copy locally. For screenshot callouts with pins and labels, use Pix-8 Image Annotator instead. It does not include custom font uploads or curved text.

Why add text to images with fonts in the browser?

Font-heavy editors often upload your file before you pick a typeface. Pix-8 keeps typography local — the direct fit when you need to add text to image with fonts with on-device font controls and export that never routes pixels through a remote server.

Client-side font styling

Your image is read and composited locally in your browser tab. Choose font family, size, and color on a client-side canvas — Pix-8 does not receive your pixel data.

Readable typography controls

Select from built-in font families, adjust size and color, align left/center/right, and tune optional shadow or background box before export.

Flattened local export

Download or copy one image with your styled text baked in, with optional EXIF stripping before you share.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add text to an image with fonts without uploading it?

Yes. Pix-8 Text Overlay runs entirely in your browser. Your image is read locally, typed text is rendered on a client-side canvas with your chosen font settings, and you export from your device. It is never transmitted to Pix-8 or any third-party server.

Which fonts does this tool support?

Text Overlay includes a built-in font family selector with sans-serif, serif, monospace, and impact-style options, plus size and color controls. You can align text left, center, or right and toggle optional shadow or background box. It does not include custom font uploads, Google Fonts browsing, or curved text paths.

How is Text Overlay different from Image Annotator labels?

Text Overlay is for free-positioned typography with font, size, color, alignment, shadow, and background box controls — ideal for headlines, captions, and banners. Image Annotator attaches short labels to pin-style callouts for screenshot markup. It does not include arrows, pins, numbered markers, or multi-layer annotation workflows.
