FAQ
-
How successful is the tool at placing text behind subjects?
The success rate depends on the complexity of your image. In most cases (approximately 85-90% of typical photos), the AI accurately detects subject boundaries and places text properly behind them. However, challenging cases can occur where text might appear partially in front of the subject, particularly with very complex subjects like fine hair strands, transparent objects, or subjects that blend with the background. If this happens, you can improve results by specifying the main subject more clearly in the focus field, using an image with better subject/background contrast, or adjusting text positioning to avoid problematic areas.
-
Can I customize the text style and appearance?
Yes! You can fully customize the text you place behind your image subject. The tool offers various font options ranging from elegant serif fonts to bold display typefaces. You can adjust text size, color, opacity, and positioning. Additional styling options include shadow effects, text curvature, and spacing controls. This flexibility allows you to create exactly the look you want, whether it's subtle and professional or bold and eye-catching.
-
Can I use this for product photography and marketing?
Absolutely! Text Behind Image is perfect for product photography and marketing materials. You can highlight product features, add brand messaging, or include promotional text that appears to exist in the same space as your product. This creates more engaging visuals for e-commerce listings, social media marketing, advertisements, and product catalogs. The 3D effect helps your product stand out while incorporating important information.
-
What types of images work best with Text Behind Image?
Photos with clear, well-defined subjects against contrasting backgrounds work best. Portraits, product photos, and images with isolated subjects typically yield the most impressive results. The tool can handle more complex images, but subjects with very intricate edges (like wisps of hair) or those that blend with the background might produce less precise results. For optimal effect, use photos where the subject stands out clearly from the background.
