Your own logo can go on as a watermark with adjustable transparency.

When to use
Use Text2Photo if:
- You want to add a caption, title or quote to a single photo without making an account.
- You want a wide font choice, since more than 950 Google fonts is well beyond what a phone app gives you.
- You want to place your own logo or a text watermark on a photo, with the transparency set where you want it.
- You want meme-style speech bubbles or simple graphics like arrows and icons on an image.
- You want to size a photo for a specific platform, such as an Instagram or YouTube layout, before you post it.
When NOT to use
Skip Text2Photo if any of these describe you:
- You need to watermark or caption many photos at once. It works on one image at a time. Watermarkly Add Text and Visual Watermark Add Text handle batches.
- You want templates, layers or a saved brand kit. This is a light editor. Canva Add Text to Photo or Adobe Express Text on Photo offer a fuller design workflow.
- You want AI edits like background removal or erasing an object. Text2Photo is a manual text and overlay editor, with no AI in it.
