Add Text to JPG
Add captions or watermarks to JPEG images, private in your browser
Put text right on your JPEG
Sometimes an image needs words: a caption to explain a screenshot, a watermark to mark it as yours, a label on a diagram, or a punchline on a meme. This tool lays your text directly onto the JPG and bakes it into the picture, so the message travels with the image wherever it is shared.
Type your text, then set the font size, color and position until it sits exactly where you want. When it looks right, download the finished JPEG. Everything is rendered in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded.
How to add text to a JPG
- Drop your JPG into the box above, or click to choose it.
- Type the caption or watermark you want to display.
- Adjust the font size, color and position on the image.
- Click Download JPG to save your captioned photo.
What you can use it for
Captions and labels
Add a title to a screenshot, label a chart, or explain what a photo shows so it stands on its own.
Simple watermarks
Stamp your name, handle or website across an image to discourage others from passing it off as theirs.
Private by default
The text is drawn onto the image locally, so your photo and your wording never reach a server.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change the font size and color?
Yes. Controls for size and color appear next to the image so you can make the text bold and readable or subtle and out of the way.
Can I choose where the text goes?
Yes. Position controls let you place the text where it works best, such as a corner for a watermark or the center for a caption.
Does the text become part of the image?
Yes. The words are rendered into the JPEG itself, so they stay in place when the image is shared, embedded or printed.
Will the text stay sharp?
Text is drawn crisply and saved at high quality, so it remains clear as long as you keep the quality slider high.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The text is added in your browser, so nothing leaves your device.
