Add Background to Image
Put a solid color behind a transparent PNG, make a passport size photo, and add text you can drag, resize and style. Everything happens in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded.
Drag on the image (not on text) to move it. Use Zoom to make it bigger or smaller.
Best with a PNG that has a transparent background. Photo with its own background? Remove it first with the Background Remover, then add a new color here.
Upload an image first. Then click a text on the image to select it and drag it to move it. The controls above edit the selected text.
Add a background color to any transparent image
Transparent PNGs need a background before you print them, post them or use them as ID photos. This tool places your image on a color of your choice, resizes it for passports and social media, and lets you add text on top.
