Add Text to Photos & Video
If you want to add text to images in ways that enhance your brand assets and personal projects, we’ve got what you need. Our tools like drop shadow and curved text put us way ahead of other design platforms. Even use your own fonts!
Add text effects
Whether you want a drop shadow or an inner shadow, PicMonkey has a slider-based tool that handles it all. So when you want to add text to photos or videos, you'll have tons of options to make your text look the best it can be.
Add curved text
Curve your text with two clicks in PicMonkey. It’s as easy (and as circular) as pie. So next time you add text to a photo, give it some curve!
Erase Text
When you add text to photos, you can get a layered look with the Eraser that’s built into our Text tool. It’s really handy if you want to quickly make text look like it’s behind something.
