Text Behind Object

The text-behind-subject look — a big word with the person cut in front of it — is everywhere on thumbnails, Reels covers and story frames because it adds depth without adding clutter. Doing it manually means masking hair strand by strand. Text Behind Object does it in one run: type the text, name the object in front ('the person', 'the laptop', 'the coffee cup'), and the tool renders the text large and legible behind that object, with the object partially overlapping and sitting in front of the letters.

Keep the text short and loud. SUBSCRIBE, NEW, DAY ONE, EPISODE 12, GG — one or two words in capitals read best because the object hides part of them and the eye has to fill in the rest. The object description should be plain: 'the person' works in a selfie; 'the red car' or 'the bowl of ramen' works for product and food shots. The tool spells the text exactly as typed, and the photo keeps its aspect ratio.

It pairs naturally with the face tools. Run Reaction Face Generator first for a pointing pose, then Text Behind Object with SUBSCRIBE behind you, then Reframe for a 9:16 story version. For a title that should sit in front rather than behind, YouTube Thumbnail Maker handles it; to change the word later, Text Replacer swaps it in place. A run is 4 credits at Standard, and Pro is worth it when the letters are thin.
