Upload the JPEG
Choose a JPG up to 15 MB. The editor loads it as the background for your new text layers.
JPG text overlay
Add Text to JPG Online
Upload a flattened JPEG, place new captions or labels above it, and adjust their position, contrast and crop without altering the original file.
Images stay in your browser. Translation sends only the active English text.
Three steps
How to add text to a JPG
Create the overlay
Type your words, select a font and drag each layer to an intentional position on the image.
Review and export PNG
Check the crop and readability, then sign in to download the composed image as a PNG.
Workflow guide
Choose the right add text to a JPG workflow
Understand what the tool changes before you export the finished composition.
New text above a JPG
This browser tool combines a flattened JPEG with one or more movable text layers; it does not recover an editable layer from the JPG.
For creators, sellers and teams
Use it for a fresh headline, photo label, short promotion or explanatory note when the source asset is a JPEG.
Position and style each message
Up to eight layers can have separate size, color, outline, shadow, background, opacity and rotation settings.
Different from editing embedded words
Adding text keeps every original pixel visible. If existing lettering must be removed and replaced, use the JPG editing workflow.
Edit existing JPG text →Begin with the source JPEG
Upload above, write the shortest useful message first and add contrast only after checking it against the image.
Practical design checks
Remember the output format
JPG input is supported, while the finished composition downloads as PNG.
Avoid repeated compression
Start with the clearest JPEG available because adding a layer cannot restore detail already lost to compression.
Keep type inside the crop
Choose the final aspect ratio before fine positioning so important words remain visible.
