How do I overlay text on an image?

There are two overlay text sections that can be used in combination to create a more interesting and unique design. The text can be positioned in a number of ways and optionally animated.

When overlaying text on an image it can be helpful to add a gradient to make the text stand out more clearly. You can add a darker or lighter gradient from the top or bottom.

Before starting, make sure you have added a section which is where you will be placing the image.

Tap Add Section and then select a section layout.
On the right-hand side, you can also drag and drop a section layout into the tempalte.

1.) Tap on the + icon to add an image to your template.

Tap on the + icon to add content. Scroll down the menu and select Image.

2.) Insert your image.

You can add an image via a URL, the built-in stock image library, or upload an image.

3.) On the right side of the screen use the image settings to overlay text on an image.

Enter your text at the top and then use the controls to position the text, adjust the font size and color, and more.

Use the X and Y position sliders to move the text. The Text Baseline and Text Alignment can also be set here.

You also have the option to animate the text as well.
