    More free image tools

    Same quality bar. Still free. Still no upload.

    Your files never leave your device

    Free to use, with no account, no usage limit and no watermark, because the work runs on your device rather than on our servers.

    This is not a promise about how carefully we handle your upload. There is no upload. The file you choose is read into memory by your own browser, processed there, and handed back as a download — the tool has no server component and makes no network request with your data.

    • Nothing is stored. We never receive the file, so there is no copy to retain, no retention period to disclose, and nothing to delete on request.
    • Nothing is transmitted. No upload endpoint, no analytics payload carrying file contents, no third-party processor.
    • You can verify it. Load this page, disconnect from the internet, and use the tool. It still works, because everything it needs is already on your machine.
    • Nothing persists after you close the tab. Files are held in page memory only — not in local storage, not in a cache, not in a database.

    A note on wording, because it matters: we do not describe these tools as “encrypted.” Encryption protects data that travels to somebody else's computer. Your file does not travel, so there is nothing to encrypt and nothing to intercept — which is a stronger guarantee than encryption, not a weaker one. The page itself is served over HTTPS like the rest of the site.

    This makes the tools safe for material you are contractually barred from uploading to third-party services — client footage under NDA, unreleased campaign assets, anything covered by a confidentiality clause.

    How it works

    1. 1. Drop an image

      PNG, JPEG or WebP, read in this tab only.

    2. 2. Type and place the text

      Pick one of seven positions, a size from 12 to 240 px, opacity, colour and an optional halo.

    3. 3. Download the PNG

      The text is drawn into the pixels and saved as a PNG.

    Questions

    Is the text part of the pixels?

    Yes. It is drawn onto the bitmap and exported, so it cannot be removed by turning off a layer. That is the point of a watermark and also why you should keep an unmarked original if you will ever need one.

    Why does it look soft on a small image?

    The font is rasterised at the pixel size you chose, using the browser's generic sans-serif. no webfont is loaded, because that would be a network request. On a 400px-wide image a 48px font is already large and will show canvas rasterisation, not a hinted desktop font.

    Can I add my logo instead of text?

    No. This tool stamps text only; there is no logo or image upload. You can set the text, colour, size, opacity and one of seven positions, and the optional halo keeps it readable on busy photos.

    Everything on this page works on a file you already have, which is why it costs nothing. Generating something that did not exist (video from a prompt, a voice, a score) runs a model, and that costs credits.
