Adds text to images, not pin callout labels

Text Overlay is an image text adder for draggable typography on a client-side canvas — not pin-style callout labels. Choose font, size, color, and alignment, toggle shadow or a background box, then download or copy locally. For screenshot arrows and labeled markers, use Pix-8 Image Annotator instead. It does not include pins, arrows, or multi-annotation layers.

Why use an image text adder in the browser?

Desktop apps and cloud editors often copy your file off-device before you add a caption. Pix-8 keeps text composition local — the direct fit when you need an image text adder with draggable positioning and export that never routes pixels through a remote server.

Client-side by default

Your image is read and composited locally in your browser tab. Pix-8 does not receive your pixel data.

Add and position on-device

Type your text, drag it into place, and adjust font, color, and alignment on a client-side canvas.

Flattened local export

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

Frequently asked questions

What is an image text adder and how does Pix-8 work?

An image text adder lets you place typed text on a photo or graphic. Pix-8 Text Overlay reads your image locally, renders text on a client-side canvas with drag positioning, and exports a flattened result from your device. It is never transmitted to Pix-8 or any third-party server.

Do I need to upload my image to use this text adder?

No. Your image stays on your device. Text Overlay composites typography in your browser tab and you download or copy the output locally. No cloud upload step is required.

How is Text Overlay different from Image Annotator labels?

Text Overlay is an image text adder for free-positioned typography — headlines, captions, and banners with font, size, color, alignment, shadow, and background box controls. 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.
