Upload the photo
Start with the image you want to keep. Clear product photos, portraits, flat lays, posters, and social crops give the AI more room to place readable text.
Add Text to Photo With AI Text Overlay
Upload a photo, say exactly what words to add, and let AI place readable text into the image.
Add text to photo uploads without opening a layer-based design app. SupaImagine uses a guided AI edit: you upload the image, write the exact words, placement, color, and style you want, and the model renders the text into the photo. Use it for social captions, product labels, launch posters, thumbnails, memes, and quick image text overlays.

Try Add Text to Photo
Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP image. In the prompt, include the exact words, placement, color, size, and layout you want.
An AI Text Overlay, Not a Manual Text Layer
Use this when you want the words to feel designed into the photo.
Classic add-text editors are best when you need to drag a text box, choose a font, and keep the layer editable. Add Text to Photo on SupaImagine is different: it asks the AI to bake the words into the image with contrast, spacing, and placement that fit the photo. That makes it useful for fast visual drafts, social graphics, product labels, memes, and poster-style images where the result can be regenerated if the first layout is not right.

How to Add Text to a Photo With AI
2
Write the exact text request
Put the words in quotes and describe placement, color, size, and mood: for example, add "SUMMER DROP" at the top in bold white text with a small yellow caption underneath.
3
Generate and revise
Review the text spelling and layout. If the words are too small, too low, or not exact, revise the prompt and generate another version.
What Add Text to Photo Is Good At
Product Labels and Promo Badges
Turn a plain product photo into a launch graphic by asking for a short label, sale badge, flavor name, or packaging-style text. Keep the text brief and specify contrast so it stays legible.
Social Headlines and Captions
Add a headline, subtitle, event date, or callout directly to a photo for Instagram, Pinterest, ads, and launch posts. Describe the final channel so the AI leaves enough space around the words.
Memes and Quick Visual Notes
Use short, high-contrast text when the message matters more than a perfect font system. The AI can create bold caption-style compositions quickly, then you can regenerate the funniest take.
Use Add Text to Photo For
Small shops
Add product names, launch notes, discount badges, or flavor labels to existing product photos before a campaign goes live.
Social creators
Turn a photo into a captioned post, story graphic, thumbnail, or carousel cover without switching to a separate design app.
Blog and newsletter teams
Add readable titles or issue labels to a feature image so the visual explains the article before someone reads the headline.
Meme and community posts
Generate captioned images with short punchlines, reaction text, and bold readable lettering for lightweight sharing.
Keep Editing After the Text Pass
Add Text to Photo Questions
Can I add text to photo uploads online?
Yes. Upload a photo, describe the exact words and layout, then generate an image with the text rendered into the picture.
Is this the same as Canva or Adobe Express text layers?
No. SupaImagine creates an AI image edit where the text is baked into the result. It is useful for fast AI text overlays, but it does not keep an editable font layer after generation.
How do I make the text more readable?
Use short wording, put the exact words in quotes, and specify placement, color, contrast, and size. For example: add "OPEN DAILY" in large white text at the bottom with a soft dark shadow.
What if the AI misspells the text?
Regenerate with a stricter prompt and shorter text. AI text rendering is strongest with brief labels, headlines, captions, and badges; long paragraphs are more likely to need another pass.
Can I use it for product photos and social graphics?
Yes. It works well for product labels, sale badges, launch graphics, story covers, thumbnails, memes, and simple poster-style text overlays.
Is Add Text to Photo free to use?
SupaImagine gives new accounts starter credits. This tool follows the current image generation credit and watermark rules shown in the workspace.
Can I use the result commercially?
Commercial-use rights are available on paid plans. Free-plan output is for trying the product and personal use.
