Text Behind Image — Free AI Depth Effect

Create the viral text-behind-image effect free — type a word and it slips behind the person or object in your photo automatically. AI segmentation runs on your device, so nothing uploads and there is no watermark. Style the text with real controls — font, weight, size, colour, opacity, rotation, spacing — and export a full-resolution PNG.

  • No upload — files stay on your device
  • Works offline once loaded
  • Free forever, no signup, no watermark
Drop a photo here, or tap to choose A clear subject works best — a person, pet or product. Nothing is uploaded.

This works best on a desktop — it will run here too, just more slowly.

How to use this tool

  1. Upload a photo with a clear subject

    A person, pet or product with a distinct foreground works best. Drop the photo or tap to choose one.

  2. Pick a model and approve the one-time download

    Fast (~25 MB) is portrait-oriented; Accurate (~170 MB) also handles pets, products and objects. Either is cached after the first time and separates the subject from the background on your own device.

  3. Type, style, place, export

    Type your text, pick a font, weight and colour, drag it into position behind the subject, and download the finished PNG at the photo's full resolution.

Questions people ask

How do I put text behind a person in a photo?

Upload the photo here — the AI separates the person from the background, and any text you add is sandwiched between the two layers automatically, so the person overlaps the letters like a magazine cover.

Is this text behind image editor really free?

Yes — free, unlimited and with no watermark (there is an optional small corner credit, off by default). Processing happens in your browser, so it costs us nothing per image.

Can I use different fonts and styles?

Yes — choose from ten classic display, serif and script faces, with full control over size, weight, colour, opacity, rotation and letter spacing, and add up to five separate text layers. The faces are system fonts, so nothing extra downloads.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes — the editor works with touch, including dragging text into place, and exports at full resolution from a phone. The AI step is slower on phones than on a desktop; the page tells you so honestly rather than pretending otherwise.

How do I make the iPhone depth-effect wallpaper look?

Upload your wallpaper photo, place large clock-style digits slightly above centre, and drag them so the subject's head overlaps them. Export the PNG and set it as your wallpaper.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No — segmentation runs entirely on your device. The only download is the AI model itself, once, from the Hugging Face CDN, after you explicitly approve it; your photo never travels the other way.
