    In the prompt box, write a detailed description of the text. Include the words, font style, color, and where you want it placed on the image.

  3. 3

    Generate your graphic

    Click the generate button and let the AI create your social media graphic. It will place the text on your image according to your instructions.

  4. 4

    Download and share

    Your new image is ready! Download it in high-resolution and share it directly to your favorite social media platforms.

Stop the scroll and grab your audience's attention instantly. Instead of using complex editing software, just upload your photo and describe the text you want to add. Tell the AI the message, style, and placement, like "Add 'New Post' in a modern script font at the bottom left." This conversational approach makes creating professional-looking social media graphics faster than ever. Get your message across clearly and stylishly, helping your posts stand out in a crowded feed and driving more engagement with your content.

Achieve the exact look you want without fiddling with menus and sliders. Our AI-powered tool gives you complete creative freedom through simple text commands. You can specify everything from the font style and color to the exact positioning on the image. For example, you could ask for "a transparent watermark with our brand name in the bottom right corner" or "the quote 'Dream Big' in a fun, bubbly font in the center." This makes it easy to experiment with different designs and find the perfect overlay for any image.

Total control over text with simple prompts

Transform your images into powerful communication tools that boost engagement. Many users view social media with the sound off, making text overlays essential for conveying your message. Use them to announce sales, share inspiring quotes, ask questions, or add a call to action directly onto your visuals. An image with a clear, compelling text overlay is more likely to be understood, saved, and shared. This leads to higher visibility and stronger connections with your audience across platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
