This focused photo text editor burns one multiline text layer into the image pixels, so your caption stays attached when the file is shared, printed or opened elsewhere. The canvas work happens locally in your browser, and the editor keeps the original dimensions for export.

FAQ
Is this add text to image tool free?
Yes. You can add and style text, preview the result and export the finished image without an account, subscription, credit limit or added CanDoYa watermark. The editor runs in your browser, so there is no server queue or upload allowance.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Your browser decodes the image, draws the text overlay and creates the output file locally with the Canvas API. The photo and caption are not sent to CanDoYa or stored on a server. Available memory on your device sets the practical limit for large files.
What image formats and sizes are supported?
You can open JPG, PNG and WebP images up to 50 MB, 50 megapixels and 16,384 pixels on either side. You can export to PNG, JPEG or WebP. Some older browsers may not support WebP export, so PNG remains available as a fallback.
Can I move the text anywhere on the image?
Yes. Drag the text directly on the preview for free placement, or use any of the 9 position shortcuts for fast alignment. The editor saves the position as a percentage of the image size, which keeps it consistent in the full-resolution export.
Can I add an outline or background behind the text?
Yes. Open the readability options to add a colored text outline or a translucent background box. An outline helps lettering stay visible over mixed light and dark details, while a background box works well for longer captions and labels.
Does adding text reduce the image resolution?
No. The output keeps the original width and height. PNG is lossless, while JPEG and WebP use the quality level you choose and may slightly change fine detail. For repeated edits, start from the original image rather than resaving a compressed copy several times.
Can I add multiple text layers?
This editor focuses on one multiline text layer with free placement and styling. Put separate lines in the text box when they share a style. For several independently positioned labels, create one result, reopen it and add the next label, or use a full layer-based design editor.
