Overview

Text Behind Image is a free AI-based online tool that allows you to place text behind the subject of any photo, creating a viral text-behind-subject effect.

Accessible via the browser, the tool requires no sign-up or server upload, ensuring the user's photo never leaves their device, thereby maintaining privacy.

The AI operates by detecting the subject of the photo and places the user's words behind it. The usage process involves uploading a photo with a clear subject such as a person, pet, car, or product; typing and dragging text that is drawn on the background layer, with the subject repositioned on top, creating the effect of the text sitting behind it.

The final step allows users to export a high-resolution PNG at their photo's original size, suitable for social media platforms, TikTok covers, thumbnails, and posters.

While the tool is free to use, a Pro upgrade removes the small watermark on free downloads and provides access to more font options. The tool works best with photos that have one clear subject and some contrast with the background.
