Original sample artwork · Ready to make it yours.

From image to finished idea.

Three steps. All yours.
01 — THE CANVAS

Bring the background

Drop a photo into the workspace or start with our original artwork. Use images you own or have permission to edit.

02 — THE WORDS

Find your expression

Layer a headline and a caption. Adjust the type, color and placement. Add contrast when the background gets busy.

03 — THE FINISH

Make it ready to share

Download at your canvas dimensions, with no added watermark. Choose PNG for crisp artwork or JPEG for a compact photo.

AI editing / Not available here yet

A different tool for a different edit.

Adding a text layer gives you exact control over new words. Changing lettering already inside an image requires a separate editing workflow. Explore what Ideogram 4.5 can do, and where careful checking still matters.

Before you begin

A little clarity.

Does this change text already inside a photo?

The editor adds new text layers above the image. It does not detect, erase or replace existing lettering. For that, read our AI editing guide.

Is my photo uploaded?

The editor opens your file locally in your browser and exports it locally. It does not send your image to our server or an AI provider. Your work is lost when you close or reload the page, so download before leaving.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes. Upload a photo, edit the fields below the preview, and download. You can drag on the preview or use position fields for precise placement. Very large images may exceed your device’s available memory.

Is AI editing available?

AI editing is not enabled on this site. The current editor is free and runs in your browser. No paid AI requests are made when you use it.
