Using the text method you can easily position and add text. By default, it will be placed in the top left corner of the image.

$image->text('Hello there!');

Text position

Using the x and y parameters, you can set the location of the text.

$image->text('Hello there!', x: 10, y: 10);

Using the fontSize parameter, you can set the font size in pixels.

$image->text('Hello there!', fontSize: 100);

Using the color parameter, you can set the font color.

The color can be a color name (see all available color names) or hexadecimal RGB(A).

$image->text('Hello there!', color: '');

Using the fontPath parameter, which is required when using GD you can specify a path to a font to use

$image->text('Hello there!', fontPath: __DIR__ . '/arial.ttf');

Wrapping text

Using the width parameter, you can define a max width in pixels that the text should be and the package will wrap the text automatically.

$image->text('Hello there! This is a long piece of text that we should wrap.', width: 1000);
