How to use Add Text to WebP
- 1. Add your WebP. Drop or browse for the WebP image you want to caption. It loads into the preview so you can judge exactly where new text will sit before committing to a position.
- 2. Type the caption and set its position. Enter the words in the Text field, then set X (px) and Y (px) for where the text starts and Font size (px) for how large it renders. Bigger sizes suit banners, smaller ones suit fine print.
- 3. Pick a text color. Choose Text color so the caption reads clearly against the image behind it. A pale color stands out on dark photos, a dark color stands out on light ones.
- 4. Download the captioned WebP. Download the result with the text drawn directly into the pixels. It displays correctly anywhere a normal WebP does, with no separate caption layer to lose.
When to use Add Text to WebP
Add Text to WebP burns a caption, label or short message directly into an image's pixels, at whatever spot and size you choose. It is for the moment a picture needs a word or two on it, without opening a full design tool.
- Labeling a product photo. An online shop wants a 'Sold Out' or 'New' badge printed onto a listing photo before uploading it, rather than relying on a CSS overlay the storefront might not render.
- Captioning a tutorial screenshot. A support article needs a short arrow-free caption like 'Click here' placed near a specific spot in a screenshot so readers know exactly where to look.
- Adding a name to a thumbnail. A course creator stamps a speaker's name across the bottom corner of a video thumbnail before it goes into a playlist, keeping the credit baked in even if metadata is stripped.
- Watermarking a portfolio image. A photographer drops a small studio name into the corner of a sample image shared on a forum, so the source stays attached wherever the file gets reposted.
Examples
Label a photo
Input
photo.webp + "Sample" at (20, 60)
Output
photo.webp with the text drawn at that point
About the Add Text to WebP tool
Add Text to WebP does its work locally, right in the browser. Draw custom text at any point on a WebP image. There is no upload step, no queue and no account, and your data never travels over the network.
It belongs to the WebP Tools collection on EditSafely, a set of 57 small, focused WebP utilities that share the same instant, private workspace.
You can shape the output with 5 settings, including Text, X (px), Y (px) and Font size (px), and the result refreshes the moment you change one. The finished file is put together in browser memory and saved with the Download button, so it never touches a server on the way to your disk. A worked example further down the page shows exactly what the tool produces for a real input.
Running locally also makes the tool fast and dependable: results appear as you type or drop a file, there is no server outage that can take it down mid-task, and confidential data can be processed without a second thought.
