Text Overlay on Images

Below are examples of different ways to superimpose text on images using HTML and CSS.

Example 1: Centered Text

Centered Text Overlay

Example 2: Bottom Caption

Bottom Caption

This text has a semi-transparent black background to ensure readability.

Example 3: Corner Text

Featured

Example 4: Gradient Overlay

Gradient Background

This example uses a gradient background that fades from transparent to semi-opaque black, creating a natural space for text at the bottom of the image.

How It Works

The key techniques used in these examples are:

• Relative positioning on the container element
• Absolute positioning on the text elements
• Semi-transparent backgrounds to improve text readability
• Text shadows to make text stand out against any background
• Strategic placement (centered, bottom, corner, etc.) for different effects

Feel free to replace the placeholder images with your own and adjust the styles as needed!
