Good to know
An outline in a contrasting colour keeps text readable over busy backgrounds.
Size is a percentage of the image width, so it looks the same on large and small photos.
Caveat and Homemade Apple are handwriting-style fonts included with the site.
Questions
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Every image is opened and processed inside your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server, and closing the tab discards everything.
Which fonts can I use?
Noto Sans, Caveat and Homemade Apple are bundled (open-licensed); Arial, Georgia, Times, Courier, Impact and Verdana use the copies installed on your device and fall back to a similar font if missing.
