About Text Behind Image

Text Behind Image started with a moment of curiosity. I kept scrolling past these striking designs on social media — text tucked neatly behind the subject of a photo — and wondered how people actually pulled it off.

When I tried to recreate the effect myself, the usual answer was Photoshop. But it turned out to be a hassle: manual selections, layer masks, and a learning curve far longer than the five minutes the design actually deserved. I figured most people who just wanted the look would give up long before they got there.

So I built Text Behind Image — a free, AI-powered tool that handles the hard part automatically. It detects the subject in your photo, separates it from the background, and lets you drop text in between to create that 3D depth effect in seconds. No Photoshop, no design skills, no signup.

What we believe

• Free for everyone — no paywalls, no watermarks, no hidden costs.
• Privacy first — your images are processed locally in your browser and never uploaded to a server.
• Effortless — if it takes more than a few clicks, we haven't done our job.

The same idea now powers our other tools too, like Blur Background, with more on the way.
