Overview
About Add Text to Video & Photo
The free Caption Overlay tool burns a text caption directly into your video or photo — the bold, outlined TikTok / Instagram Reels caption look. Drop your media, type the line, choose its position, style and font, and download the captioned file. No watermark, no install.
How it works

Drop in an MP4, MOV, JPG or PNG — or a whole batch at once (you get a ZIP back) — or pick one of your own spoofed outputs.
-
2
Type your caption
Write the line and choose where it sits (top, center, bottom), the style and the font.
-
3
Download the captioned file
The caption is rendered into the media server-side and returned ready to post.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add text to a video?
Upload your video, type the caption, pick a position and style, and download the new video with the text burned in — no watermark, no account needed.
Can I add a caption to a photo too?
Yes — the tool works on both videos and images, rendering the same bold caption overlay onto stills.
Will the text be permanently on the file?
Yes, the caption is rendered into the media itself, so it shows everywhere the file plays — like a native TikTok or Reels caption.
Is it free and watermark-free?
Yes — captioning is free, requires no sign-up for guests (within a daily cap), and never adds a watermark.
