First design? Your browser downloads AI model assets to identify the subject. Your image itself stays on your device.
01
Create the text-behind effect in three steps
- 1
Choose a photo
Add a browser-readable JPEG, PNG, or WebP image with a clear main subject.
- 2
Write and style your text
Enter your words, then adjust their size, color, position, and spacing on the canvas.
- 3
Place it behind and export
Local AI creates the subject layer so the text can sit behind it, then you download a PNG.
02
Give ordinary photos editorial depth
Video thumbnails
Build readable thumbnail text that feels integrated with the subject rather than pasted on top.
Social announcements
Create launch, event, and quote graphics with a clear visual hierarchy.
Editorial graphics
Add magazine-inspired typography to portraits, products, and travel photos.
Your composition stays private
The image, mask, and text composition are created locally in your browser. Only the AI model assets are downloaded; your photo is not uploaded to us for editing.
Make the effect easier to read
- Start with one clear subject that stands apart from the background.
- Use short, bold words so the hidden portions do not reduce readability.
- Choose a text color that contrasts with the visible background areas.
- Fine hair, glass, motion blur, and transparent objects can produce an imperfect subject mask.

Text-behind-object questions
Is the text-behind tool free?+
Yes. You can create and export the effect without signing up, paying per image, or receiving a watermark.
Is my photo uploaded?+
No. Your browser downloads the AI model assets it needs, then processes the photo locally on your device.
How does the effect work?+
Local AI builds a mask for the main subject. The editor places your text between the original background and that foreground subject layer.
Which images can I use?+
Use common browser-readable JPEG, PNG, or WebP images. A sharp photo with one distinct subject gives the clearest effect.
Why does the first design take longer?+
The browser must first download and prepare the AI model assets. Speed varies by browser and device.
What file do I download?+
The completed text-behind composition is exported as a PNG. Fine hair or glass may need correction in another editor if the mask is not exact.
