💡 Tips and Tricks

Choosing the Right Font Size

Experiment with various font scales to find the most readable size for your specific image resolution. Generally, larger images may benefit from larger fonts, while small images may require smaller fonts.

Utilizing Position Sliders

To ensure the text stands out, position it away from busy image areas or object edges. The horizontal and vertical sliders provide a convenient way to adjust this dynamically.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Text Not Visible

If the text appears missing on the image, check the color selection and ensure it's contrasting with the background. Adjust the font scale or position to ensure visibility.

Incorrect Text Scaling

If the text size does not appear as expected, verify the settings of the font scale slider and ensure the output image is of a sufficient resolution for text rendering.
