How does it know what the "subject" is to tuck the text behind?

It uses automatic subject detection, similar to background removal — works best on photos with a clear, well-defined subject against a distinguishable background.

Can I control the text's font, size and position?

Yes, text styling and placement are adjustable, letting you fine-tune exactly where it sits relative to the subject.

Does this work on any photo, or only certain compositions?

It works best on photos where the subject is clearly separable from the background — busy or low-contrast compositions make accurate subject detection harder.

Does Text Behind Image upload my files to a server?

No. Text Behind Image runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

About this tool

The trendy "text behind subject" effect — where text appears to be tucked behind a photo's main subject rather than simply overlaid on top — needs the subject properly separated from the background first, which is normally a manual masking task in an image editor. This tool automatically places text behind a photo's subject for that layered, tucked-in look, without you needing to manually mask the subject yourself.
