Tools for adding text to images

[Tony Deifell]

Here are a few tools that enable you to add text to your image without needing to use a special software program. You can do it all online and then add your photo to wdydwyd.

Be careful... some of the fonts on this are cheezy.

  (Please DO NOT use this site's prefab images... upload your own photos that you take)
• http://picfont.com

• http://www.text-image.com

Two other great ways to add text:

1. Use a program like Photoshop
2. Take a photo with text in the scene (e.g. like writing on your forehead or on the beach.)

Often these make the very best images on the site.
