Pin text overlay generator
Text on the image tells people what a pin is about before they read anything else. Upload a photo, write a headline, and place it on a solid band, a rounded box or a dark fade so it stays readable on any picture.
How to use the pin text overlay generator
- Choose a photo; it is cropped to 2:3 automatically.
- Write a headline of about five to eight words.
- Pick where the text sits and what goes behind it, then download.
Keeping overlay text readable
- Dark fade works on busy photos and keeps the picture visible.
- Solid band is the most readable and works well for recipes and how-tos.
- Rounded box looks softer and suits lifestyle and decor pins.
Avoid covering the most important part of the photo, such as the finished dish or the room. Move the text to the top if the subject sits low in the frame.
Your image never leaves your device. Everything happens inside your browser, so nothing is uploaded to Pinrivo or anywhere else.
Questions
Will my photo be stretched?
No. It is scaled and cropped to fill 1000 x 1500 without distortion.
Can I add text without a photo?
Use the pin template generator for text-only pins.
