Workflow guide
Choose the right add text to a PNG workflow
Understand what the tool changes before you export the finished composition.
A focused PNG overlay editor
The tool draws new text above your uploaded PNG and renders both together in the browser.
For graphics with finished artwork
Creators, educators, marketers and product teams can add a label or message when the existing PNG should stay visually intact.
Independent text-layer control
Each layer has its own wording, position, font, color, outline, shadow, panel, opacity and rotation.
Not an embedded-text replacement tool
An overlay does not erase words already present in the pixels. Use the replacement workflow for that task.
Replace existing image text →Upload and inspect the preview
Start above, choose the final crop and verify edges and background appearance before downloading.
Practical design checks
Check transparent areas
The uploaded PNG is drawn onto the canvas. Inspect the preview and downloaded result when transparency is important to your workflow.
Create reliable contrast
Use an outline, shadow or background panel when the PNG contains both light and dark regions.
Preserve useful dimensions
Keep Original selected unless a square, portrait, story or landscape crop is required.
