How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your background image into EditThisPic. Works with JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Use high-resolution photos for best text clarity. Landscapes, gradients, and simple backgrounds work great for quote posters.

Expect: Simple quote additions: 15-30 seconds. Complex multi-line designs with styling: may need 2-3 refinements for perfect layout.
Describe your quote and style

Type your instruction: 'add the quote Dream big in bold white text centered at the top' or 'overlay Be yourself in elegant script font at the bottom with shadow effect.' Be specific about the text content, font style, size, color, and position. No marking needed—the AI understands placement terms like 'top', 'center', 'bottom'.

Tip: Include style details for better results: 'with drop shadow', 'in elegant serif font', 'bold and uppercase'. Mention attribution if needed: 'with -Author Name underneath in smaller text'.

Generate and review

Click Generate and AI creates your quote poster with professional typography and layout. Check text readability, positioning, and overall visual balance. Zoom in to verify text is crisp and properly styled.
Refine with markers if needed

If text placement needs adjustment or you want to emphasize specific areas, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. This is optional—most quote posters work perfectly without markers on first try.

Tip: Markers are for precision refinement, not required. Try without them first. Use them to adjust exact text position or avoid covering important photo elements.

If something looks off

Text is hard to read against the background

Why: Insufficient contrast between text color and background image colors makes text blend in.

Try:

Add 'with strong black drop shadow' or 'with white glow effect' to your prompt. Or try 'place text on semi-transparent dark overlay box' for guaranteed readability.

Try This →

Tip: For photos with varied colors, use 'with both outline and shadow' for maximum text visibility across all background areas.

Text is in the wrong position or covering important parts

Why: The AI placed text where you described, but it's covering faces or key photo elements you wanted to keep visible.

Try:

Tap a marker on the specific spot where text should go, then regenerate. Or refine your prompt with exact position: 'in the top third' or 'in the empty sky area' instead of just 'at the top'.

Try This →

Tip: Check your photo first for clear empty spaces. Mention those explicitly: 'place text in the empty sky area on the left side'.

Font style doesn't match what I wanted

Why: Generic descriptions like 'nice font' or 'pretty text' are interpreted differently by the AI.

Try:

Be specific about font characteristics: 'bold sans-serif', 'elegant script', 'vintage typewriter', 'modern geometric', 'classic serif'. Use style keywords: 'professional', 'playful', 'minimalist', 'ornate'.

Try This →

Tip: Reference well-known styles: 'Instagram-style bold text', 'vintage poster typography', 'modern tech company font style'.

Quote text has typos or wrong words

Why: The AI occasionally misinterprets complex phrases or generates slight variations of the quote you specified.

Try:

Use quotation marks around the exact text in your prompt: 'add the quote "Success is not final" exactly as written'. This signals to preserve exact wording.

Try This →

Tip: For long quotes, break your request into main quote and attribution as separate elements to reduce errors.

Multiple lines aren't aligned or spaced properly

Why: Complex multi-line layouts need explicit spacing and alignment instructions.

Try:

Add layout details: 'perfectly centered with even line spacing', 'left-aligned with consistent margins', 'stacked vertically with 20px gaps between lines'.

Try This →

Tip: For three or more lines, specify hierarchy: 'with the first line largest, second line medium, third line smallest for visual flow'.

Attribution or author name is missing or wrong size

Why: When quote and attribution are requested together, the AI might emphasize one over the other.

Try:

Separate them clearly: 'add main quote [text] in large bold font at center, and add -Author Name in smaller italic text at bottom right corner'. Use 'and add' to signal two distinct text elements.

Try This →

Tip: Specify size ratio: 'author name should be 40% the size of the main quote' for precise control.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark where the text should go before describing?

No! Just describe the text and position: 'add quote at the top center' or 'place text in the middle'. The AI understands placement terms like top, bottom, center, left, right. Only use markers if you need to refine exact positioning after seeing the first result.

How do I make text readable on busy or colorful backgrounds?

Add contrast instructions to your prompt: 'with black drop shadow', 'with white glow effect', or 'on a semi-transparent dark overlay box'. Shadows and glows ensure text stands out regardless of background complexity. For challenging photos, request 'strong shadow and outline' for maximum visibility.

Can I create multi-line quotes with different text sizes?

Yes. Describe the layout: 'add Dream Big in large bold text on the first line, Work Hard in medium text on the second line, Stay Humble in small text on the third line, all centered and stacked vertically'. Use hierarchical language like 'largest', 'medium', 'smallest' to control relative sizing.

What's the best way to add author attribution to quotes?

Request the main quote and attribution separately in one prompt: 'add the quote [main text] in large font at center, and add -Author Name in smaller italic text at the bottom right'. Using 'and add' helps the AI create two distinct text elements with proper sizing and placement.
