About Text Behind Image

Democratizing high-end editorial typography for creators, marketers, and photographers worldwide through privacy-first browser technology.

The Story Behind the Tool

For years, placing typography behind a person or object in a photo required opening heavy desktop software like Adobe Photoshop, painstakingly cutting out silhouettes with the Pen Tool, duplicating layers, and applying manual layer masks.

Text Behind Image (formerly known as Text Behind Photos) was built to make this captivating design effect accessible to everyone in seconds—directly in the browser, 100% free, and with zero subscription paywalls.

Whether you are designing a high-engagement Instagram carousel cover, a YouTube thumbnail, a club poster, or a product promo banner, our editor turns complex masking into a simple drag-and-drop workflow.

Privacy-First Architecture

Most online photo editing tools send your pictures to remote cloud servers for processing. This raises significant privacy concerns, increases latency, and risks photo retention.

Text Behind Image takes a fundamentally different architectural approach. Powered by modern WebAssembly (WASM) and WebGPU, our AI segmentation model executes entirely in your local browser environment. Your pictures never leave your device, ensuring complete data security.
