Can I add multiple lines of text?

Currently the tool supports a single text string. For multi-line text, you can add one line at a time by re-uploading the exported image.

What font is used for the text?

The tool uses a clean sans-serif font that works well at all sizes. Custom font selection is planned for a future update.

Can I make the text fully opaque?

Yes. Set the opacity slider to 100% for fully opaque text that stands out clearly against the image background.

How do I add text to a specific area of the image?

Choose from six preset positions: Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right, Center, or Tile. For pixel-perfect placement, free positioning is coming in a future update.
