How to add text to an image

Capture the reader's attention

I'll show you three ways to place text on an image. Each text overlay option has pros and cons, so choose the one that meets your business requirements.

I cover:

Banner block

This might be the easiest method, but it comes with the fewest design options. That makes it a good choice if you're looking for a fast, simple solution.

Drag a Banner block to the canvas. Click the block to make it the active layer, and then go to the side panel. Now add an image to the block: you can upload an image from your device or select a picture that's already in your image folder.

With your image in the block, go to the top of the page and click the Text icon. Next, drag the mouse across the image to create a text field.

Type something in the field, and now you're ready to add the final touches. Highlight the text and then use the toolbar at the top of the page to customize the style. Change the text color, adjust the font size, and more. Drag the text field and find the best spot for the text on the image.
