How to add text to a photo — captions and labels, free, no upload

  1. Tap Choose a picture and pick the photo or screenshot to label.
  2. Type the caption exactly as it should read, line breaks included.
  3. Tap one of the nine positions for where the block sits.
  4. Pick black, white or saffron ink, set the size, then press Add the caption.
  5. Save the result. Its name ends in -captioned so you can tell it apart.

Nine places text can go, and one tap each

A drag handle needs a preview pipeline and a steady hand; nine labelled positions need one tap. Top corners carry warnings and stamps, the middle band carries a headline, the bottom row carries captions the way subtitles do. Long captions wrap automatically at the picture’s width, keep their own line breaks, and grow away from the edge they are anchored to — a bottom-centre caption stays glued to the bottom however many lines it needs.

Size is a percentage of the picture, not a fixed pixel count, so the same setting works on the thumbnail-sized screenshot you took this morning and the forty-megapixel shot from your camera.

Ink that reads on any background

White ink for dark photos, black for light ones, and saffron when the label should look chosen rather than defaulted. The three swatches are deliberate: every extra choice on this page would be one more thing between a person with a form to fill in and a labelled picture. If you want decorative type, this is the wrong page — and the meme generator beside it is the right one.

Private by construction, not by promise

Screenshots are the most sensitive files most people handle daily: bank balances, chats, exam admit cards. That is exactly why nothing here uploads anything. The decoding, the drawing and the saving all happen inside your browser tab, offline, and the file never exists anywhere but on your device. No account, no watermark of ours, no premium tier — the tool is free because it costs us nothing to run when your computer is the computer doing the work.

Questions

Can I write more than one line?
Yes — press enter where you want the break and the caption keeps it. Lines too long for the picture wrap automatically, and the block grows inward from wherever you anchored it instead of running off the edge.
Where does my photo go when I add the caption?
Nowhere. The work is done by your browser on your machine; there is no upload step to secure because there is no upload. You can watch it work with the network cable pulled out.
Which font will my caption use?
Your device’s own bold system font. Position, size, colour and wrapping are exact everywhere; letter shapes vary slightly across devices, which the result says plainly. Embedding a font program would add more than this tool’s entire download budget for one typeface.
Can I label several photos the same way?
Yes — drop up to twenty at once and every one gets the same caption in the same place, each saved under its own -captioned name so the batch stays tidy.
Does the output keep the original resolution?
It does, width and height exactly, in the format you choose. The only pixels that change are the ones under the letters themselves.
