Image generators allow you to make small images appropriate for instant messengers or social networking websites. Pictures are uploaded into the image generator or selected from the images already available, and then text is added to the image. When finished, the image is ready for use.
Instructions
1. Upload the picture into the image generator. There are several online generators available, such as roflbot or Tags Maker (see Resources), which allow uploading and editing of the picture online. They also have images available from the generator that you can select instead of personal images. Some websites will have a few uploading options, such as uploading from a website and uploading from a personal computer, which is convenient for those with pictures on personal websites.
2. Type in the text. Online image generators allow adding text, which usually is available after the image is uploaded. Pick a font for the text. There are usually several font options available, which range from cursive styles to bubble letters and even messy handwriting styles.
3. Select a font size. The size of the font should suit the image so that the picture is not covered completely by text. Font size depends on the image size and the specific picture.
4. Place the font wherever you like. Depending on the image, the font might end up on the top of the image, on the bottom, or even centered.
5. Pick font colors as preferred. Font color selections are usually basic colors such as black, white, green or blue. Most image generators with text options will not have custom colors available.
6. Save or submit the image as necessary for the image generator. Once saved or submitted, the image is ready for use.
