Genuine results from the tool — slide to see the difference.
Type sliding behind a subject while staying in front of the background is the signature look of high-performing thumbnails, drop announcements, and promo posters — it adds instant depth and makes a static image feel designed. Building it by hand means duplicating the subject, masking it, and sandwiching type between layers; here it is one step.
Give it the word and the subject. The AI cuts the subject, sets bold display type into the scene behind them, and re-composites so the letters are occluded exactly where the subject crosses them. The text reads as part of the photo's space, which is precisely why the effect pulls eyes in a crowded feed.
Use it for product drops ('NEW' behind the bottle), sale graphics, video thumbnails, event posters, and social covers — generated in seconds whenever the post is due. The type is rendered into the pixels, so iterate by re-running with new wording; each pass is fast enough that testing three headlines costs you a minute.

Frequently asked questions
What wording performs best?
Short and loud: one word, a year, a price point. Big display type survives being partially covered; a full sentence turns to soup once the subject overlaps it.
Can I pick font and color?
The AI chooses typography that suits the photo and keeps contrast readable. Want a specific treatment? Put it in the text field: 'SALE in white outlined letters'.
Why name the subject?
It decides the layering. In a frame with several candidates, 'the sneaker' versus 'the model' produces different graphics, so being explicit keeps you in control.
Can I edit the text later?
It is baked into the image, not live type. Re-running with new wording takes seconds — that is the iteration loop, and it is fast enough to A/B headlines.
Can I try Text Behind Object for free?
Yes — every new account starts with 4 free credits, enough to run this tool once at Standard quality. No credit card required.
