Add a headline, caption, or call to action to a photo or graphic. Specify the exact words, placement, and lettering style in chat.
Use this prompt in the editor Upload your own image. Replace bracketed details before generating.
Choose copy and placement together
A short headline can sit in open space without covering the subject. Describe the intended location using visible landmarks, such as the empty upper-left corner or the space beneath the product. Include the exact capitalization and punctuation.
Describe readable lettering
Tell the editor whether the text should be bold, light, condensed, or handwritten. Specify a color and ask for contrast against the background. If your image will be used as a small thumbnail, prioritize a short phrase and check it at that size.
Refine the generated image
Review the first result and request a focused adjustment, such as moving the caption lower or making the headline larger. The result is an image, not an editable text layer; keep a copy of your original and your final wording.
Review before you download
- Read the words at the intended display size.
- Check margins and whether any subject is obscured.
- Confirm capitalization, punctuation, and existing lettering.
