Image Text Overlay
Adds captions, titles or labels onto images. Three content modes: same text on every image, the filename, or an Excel mapping.
What it does
Use this to stamp product names on product photos, names on certificate templates, blog titles on hero images, or price tags before posting.
Difference from Watermark: This tool writes readable info (product name, price). Watermark is for subtle, decorative marks (translucent logo). Pick the right one.
How to use
- Drag images into the list.
- Pick a Content Source: Fixed, Filename or Excel.
- For Fixed, type the text. For Excel, pick the mapping file.
- Set Font, Colour, Size and Position.
- Click Run.
You get one captioned copy per image.
Content source modes
| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
| Fixed | Same text on every image (e.g. SALE 20%). |
| Filename | Each image is labelled with its own filename. Great for certificates and named cards. |
| Excel Mapping | Reads a filename -> text mapping from an Excel file. |
Excel format
A two-column workbook:
- Column A: filename (
product_001.jpg) - Column B: text to stamp (
MacBook Pro 13")
A header row in row 1 is optional, the tool still works.
Typography
- Font Family: Every font installed on your machine is listed.
- Colour: Pick from the colour dialog.
- Size (%): Between 2% and 40% of the short edge. 5% gives a small caption, 15% a big headline.
Position options
Seven preset positions: 4 corners (top-left/right, bottom-left/right), 2 edge centres (top-centre, bottom-centre), and centre. Bottom-centre is the standard for most captions.
Examples
Stamp product names on product photos: Add the images, pick Excel mode, choose the mapping file (filename -> product name). Each product is labelled with its own name.
Add names to certificate templates: Add the certificates, pick Filename mode. If the filename is the recipient's name, it appears automatically.
Add headlines to blog images: Add the images, pick Fixed, type the headline, run.
Same SALE tag on 100 products: Add the products, Fixed, SALE 30%, red, top-right corner, run.
Watch out
- In Excel mode the filenames must match exactly (including the extension). Mismatches are skipped.
- Long text on small images can spill over the edge, shrink the size.
- Fonts without Turkish or special-character support will show empty boxes for Ç, Ğ, Ş etc.
- The same font/colour/position applies to every image.
- The text is fully opaque (not translucent). For translucent marks use Watermark instead.
