Focused typography editor, not a design suite

Pix-8 Text Overlay is a professional text overlay editor for controlled typography on a client-side canvas — drag text into place, set font family, size, color, and alignment, and toggle optional shadow or background box for contrast. For screenshot callouts with pins and labels, use Pix-8 Image Annotator instead. It does not include template libraries, AI generation, or multi-layer PSD workflows.

Why use a professional text overlay editor in the browser?

Heavy editors upload your file before you adjust a headline. Pix-8 keeps composition local — the direct fit when you need a professional text overlay editor with on-device typography controls and export that never routes pixels through a remote server.

Client-side workflow

Your image is read and composited locally in your browser tab. Pix-8 does not receive your pixel data — suitable for client deliverables and internal assets.

Typography you can standardize

Drag text into position, set font family, size, and color, align left/center/right, and tune shadow or background box for consistent, readable output.

Production-ready export

Download or copy a flattened image with text baked in, with optional EXIF stripping before you share, archive, or hand off to another tool.

Frequently asked questions

What makes this a professional text overlay editor?

Pix-8 Text Overlay is a focused typography editor — draggable text blocks with font family, size, color, alignment, and optional shadow or background box controls, all on a client-side canvas. It is professional in the sense of precise, repeatable output for headlines, captions, and banners — not a full design suite with templates, AI effects, or multi-layer timelines.

Can I use this editor without uploading my images?

Yes. The editor runs entirely in your browser. Your image is read locally, text is composited on a client-side canvas, and you export from your device. It is never transmitted to Pix-8 or any third-party server.

How is Text Overlay different from Image Annotator?

Text Overlay is a professional text overlay editor for free-positioned typography on images. Image Annotator is for screenshot markup with pin-style callouts, arrows, and short labels. Text Overlay does not include pins, arrows, numbered markers, or multi-annotation layers.
