How to add text to a photo

Choose or drop a photo. The Text tool is ready.
Type in the panel, then click the photo to put the text there. Drag to move it, and choose a font, size, color, outline or shadow.
Select Place text, then save from Export.

An outline keeps text readable on busy backgrounds: white text with a black outline works on almost anything.
Arrows and boxes are in the same panel, for marking up screenshots.
Text sits on its own layer, so changing the photo's colors never tints it.

Which fonts are available?

Barlow, Anton, Bebas Neue, Playfair, Georgia, Caveat, Pacifico and Courier, covering clean, bold, elegant and handwritten styles.

Can I edit text after placing it?

Once placed it becomes part of the drawing layer. Undo takes it back so you can place it again.

Does it work with Arabic and other scripts?

Yes. Letters a font does not include are drawn with your system's own font.
