How to use Add a Label to an Image
- 1. Load the image to caption. Drop a file onto the input area or pick one from disk. Any image format is accepted, and the preview shows exactly where the caption bar will sit once you type something.
- 2. Type your caption. Write the text in the Caption field. Short lines work best because the bar sizes itself to the image width, so a punchy phrase stays readable while a paragraph gets cramped.
- 3. Choose position and colors. Set Bar position to Top or Bottom depending on where the image has room, then pick Bar color and Text color. Classic meme style is a black bar with white text.
- 4. Download the labeled image. Review the rendered caption bar in the output pane, tweak wording or colors until it reads well, then hit Download to save the finished image with the bar baked in.
When to use Add a Label to an Image
Add a Label to an Image bolts a titled bar onto the top or bottom edge of any picture. It covers the everyday cases where you need words attached to an image itself, not in surrounding text: memes, figure titles, before-and-after markers, or filenames that must survive being forwarded around.
- Captioning a meme. You have the perfect reaction image but it needs the line delivered on the picture. Type the text, pick Bottom with a black bar, and post the result straight to Discord or Slack.
- Titling figures for a report. Charts and screenshots exported from other tools rarely carry their own titles. Stamping 'Figure 3: Checkout funnel' onto the image keeps the label attached when the file gets copied between documents.
- Marking before and after shots. When you send two nearly identical screenshots to a designer or client, label one 'Before' and one 'After'. Nobody has to guess which is which once the files leave the email thread.
- Dating event photos. Photos from a workshop or site visit are easier to file later if each carries the date and location on a small bar. The label travels with the image through any upload.
Examples
