Absolute Local Privacy

Unlike other tools, your images are processed locally in your browser. They are never uploaded to our servers, keeping your sensitive photos and designs 100% secure.

Interactive Canvas Editing

Click, drag, stretch, and rotate your text directly on the image preview, or use pixel-perfect coordinate inputs for exact placement.

Advanced Styling & Clipping

Add solid or semi-transparent (RGBA) background blocks, custom drop shadows, and even clip your text to render only on non-transparent image pixels.

Unlimited Typography Freedom

Choose from a wide variety of built-in fonts, adjust line heights, toggle bold and italic styling, or import your own custom web fonts via TTF or WOFF URLs.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my image safe? Does Image Studio save my files?
Your images never leave your computer. Image Studio uses advanced in-browser technology to process all text overlays and image rendering locally on your device, ensuring complete privacy.
Can I use my own custom fonts?
Yes. In addition to our extensive built-in library (including Arial, Helvetica, Roboto, Monospace, and Serif options), you can import custom fonts by pasting a URL to any TTF or WOFF file.
Can I add background colors or shadows to my text?
Absolutely. You can add rectangular background blocks to your text with support for solid and semi-transparent (RGBA) colors, and apply drop shadows with custom X/Y offsets, blur radiuses, and shadow colors.
What is the "clip to non-transparent pixels" feature?
This advanced feature restricts your text rendering so that it only draws on top of the non-transparent pixels of your underlying image. It is perfect for creating unique masking effects, text silhouettes, and artistic typography overlays.

How to Add Customizable Text and Labels to Images
