Image Caption Maker
Add a styled text caption onto an image for social posts.
Text on your image
A caption laid over an image — a title, a key phrase, a label — turns a plain photo into something that communicates at a glance in a feed. This adds styled text onto your image, so you can create captioned graphics for posts without opening a full design program.
Add your image, type the caption, and style it.
Legible over any image
The one real challenge with text on images is keeping it readable over a busy or variable background, and the fixes are well known: a semi-transparent band behind the text, a subtle shadow or outline, or placing the text over a calmer part of the image all keep it legible. Keep the caption short so it can be large enough to read on a phone, and mind the safe zone — text near the edges can be cropped by different placements. A caption that is instantly readable earns attention in a fast-scrolling feed; one that fights the background gets skipped.
Common questions
How do I keep caption text readable over a busy image?
Use a semi-transparent band, a shadow or an outline behind the text, or place it over a calmer part of the image.
Why keep captions short?
So the text can be large enough to read on a phone in a fast-scrolling feed — a long caption shrinks and gets skipped.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The caption is added in your browser.
