Why Add Text to an Image?
Text turns a plain image into a message. It can explain a product, identify a person or place, add a headline, create a quote card, provide instructions, show pricing, label a diagram, or supply context for a social post.
Good image text should be easy to read and visually connected to the subject. Font size, contrast, spacing, alignment, and placement all affect whether the final graphic communicates clearly on desktop and mobile screens.
