How to add text to an image on iPhone using Watermarkly?

The second option is to use our free online tool “Add text to photo”, which works in a browser. However, the batch processing feature is missing in it – you will be able to work with only one image at a time. If your phone does not have enough memory to install an app, you can use the tool on our website.
How do I add text to a JPEG image?
Our web app allows you to upload images in any format, including JPEG. Just import them from a folder on your device or from Google Drive/Google Photos/ Dropbox. Moreover, it is possible to upload an image of a different format and then export it as JPEG.
Which app is the best to add text to an image?
It entirely depends on your needs. Before you begin your search, we recommend asking yourself the following questions:
- What do you want your text to look like? Do you want to make your text 3D or add any other complex effects? Does it have to wow people? If the answer is yes, then you’ll definitely need a professional editing software like Photoshop. However, if you want simple and effective results, and you don’t have any editing skills, then our app might be a good choice.
- Do you want to work online or offline? Do you want to install anything? Our app allows you to add text to photo online, so it’s crucial that you have the internet connection. But if you don’t want to rely on the Internet all the time – if you want to have a bit more flexibility – then you might opt for a standalone mobile app or offline, desktop software.
These questions will surely narrow down your search.
Most importantly, you should explore and try out all the features of different applications. For example, you can start with Watermarkly!
Summing Up
Adding some text to your image can be something that will set your visual content apart from others by sending a certain message, inspiring people, or briefly presenting the gist of the accompanying caption. As a content creator, it is your job to decide what you want to write on your image. The design of the text, on the other hand, will depend not only on your taste and creativity, but also on what editing tools you’re using. After all, your broad imagination might be limited by scanty capabilities of an app.
With our app, you can design your text and add it to your images before publishing them on social networks or websites, inserting them into slides of your presentations, and so on. Take a look at all the tools and features listed above.
