How the Text Behind Image Generator Works
From upload to export in under 30 seconds. No Photoshop, no layer masks, no design skills required — AI handles the hard part while you focus on the creative.
Upload Any Image
Drag and drop or click to upload any JPG or PNG. The AI instantly detects your subject — a person, product, pet, or any object — and separates it from the background in 2-5 seconds using on-device machine learning.
Add Text Layers
Click "Add Text Layer" and type your message. The text is automatically placed between the background and the subject, creating a professional depth effect. Add as many layers as you need.
Customize with 3D Transforms
Choose from 150+ Google Fonts, adjust size, color, and opacity. Use X, Y, and Z axis rotation to create perspective effects that match the angle of your image. Fine-tune positioning with drag-and-drop.
Export in High Resolution
Download your finished creation in original resolution, 2x, or 4K. Lossless PNG output — no watermarks, no quality loss. Perfect for YouTube thumbnails, Instagram posts, TikTok covers, and print.

AI Subject Detection
State-of-the-art machine learning runs entirely in your browser to detect and separate any subject from its background. No manual masking, no pen tool — just upload and the AI handles the rest.
150+ Google Fonts
From bold display typefaces for YouTube thumbnails to elegant serifs for magazine covers. Every font is instantly available with customizable size, weight, letter spacing, and line height.

Rotate text on the X, Y, and Z axes to create perspective effects that match the depth and angle of your image. The standout feature that most free tools lack — true 3D typography.
