Text Behind Person

Add Text Behind a Person in a Photo Online

Create the popular text-behind-person effect without desktop editing software. Upload a portrait or photo, let the local AI separate the foreground subject, then place custom text between the original background and the person. The live canvas preview updates as you change the typography, outline, shadows, and position.

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

Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP image with a clear foreground subject. The tool automatically creates a transparent foreground layer, places your text behind it, and keeps the original photo as the background. Enter one or more lines of text, customize the style, drag the text into position, and download the finished image.

Can I move the text after the person is detected?

Yes. Drag anywhere inside the live preview to reposition the text. The position is stored relative to the image, so it stays consistent when the preview scales to fit a desktop or mobile screen. For precise adjustments, focus the canvas and use the arrow keys; hold Shift to move in larger steps.

Does the text-behind-subject editor support multiple lines?

Yes. Line breaks entered in the text area are preserved in the image. You can align multiline text to the left, center, or right, with centered alignment selected by default. Font family, size, weight, letter spacing, color, shadow, and stroke settings apply consistently to every line.

How do text outlines and shadows work?

The text outline draws a configurable stroke around each letter, which can keep typography legible over detailed backgrounds. The text shadow adds adjustable color, blur, and horizontal or vertical offsets. These effects are rendered at the original image resolution rather than the smaller on-screen preview resolution.

What is the person shadow outline?

The person shadow outline adds a soft colored halo around the segmented foreground. It can make the boundary between the person and the text more distinct, especially when both contain similar colors. You can turn the effect off or adjust its color and size.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. The image and AI segmentation run locally in your browser. The first use downloads the background-removal model, but your photo is not sent to giga.tools for processing. If you only need a transparent cutout, use the AI Background Remover.

Can I download the result as PNG or JPG?

Yes. PNG is the default download format and preserves the canvas output without lossy compression. JPG is available from the adjacent download menu and usually creates a smaller file for social posts, thumbnails, and other photographic uses.
