Text Behind Object

If you’re looking to add text behind objects in your photos, this comprehensive and user-friendly guide is perfect for you. You can achieve this effortlessly using a free Android app called “Photo Editor” by dev.macgyver.

While many people assume that using Photoshop is necessary for writing text behind objects or similar editing tasks, this tutorial focuses on leveraging the capabilities of an Android device. However, even if you’re interested in learning how to do it in Photoshop or add text behind an image in that software, you’ll still find valuable information here.

Within this tutorial, we will explore various techniques and features within the “Photo Editor” app that allow you to write text behind objects with ease and creativity. Whether you want to place text behind people, trees, leaves, or any other element in your photos, this guide has got you covered.

This tutorial specifically caters to Android users who wish to enhance their photo editing skills in 2023. Throughout the guide, we will concentrate on the “Photo Editor” app, readily available on the Google Play Store. You will find step-by-step instructions on how to create a 3D-like effect by writing text behind an image.

  1. Let’s begin the process. The first step is to isolate the object from your image or eliminate the background. To achieve this, you can utilize an image editing tool or software. Although I cannot provide direct access to or endorse any particular website, there are numerous online tools accessible that can assist you in removing the background from an image. To find suitable options, you can conduct a search using terms such as “background remover” or “image background removal” on your preferred search engine.

But I am using this website, Background Remover Adobe Express.

2. After successfully removing the background, the next step is to download an Android app called “Photo Editor.” This app can be found on the Google Play Store by searching for its name or by following this link.

Installing the Application

3. Once you have downloaded and installed the Photo Editor app, open it and select the “Gallery” option to import your image into the application.

4. Once your image is open in the Photo Editor, find the “Text/Image” option and tap on it. Next, click on the (+) button to add custom text or an image file from your gallery as a layer on top of your main image. Adjust the position of the text or image layer according to your desired placement.

5. Next, tap on the (+) button and choose the “Image” icon to add your previously removed background image. You can then adjust the position and size of the background image as needed to ensure it fits perfectly.

Now you have successfully placed your text behind the object (in this case, the mountain in the showcase). Remember to save your edited image to the gallery to preserve your work.
