I can't add text to an image with Edit Image node

Questions

I can use the node Edit Image node to do other options, draw and blur etc but no text renders. Any suggestions?

Many thanks.

What happens instead? Giving a bit more info or screenshots might help.

Share your workflow screenshot for better understanding and provide the image extension.

Hi. I’m away from the computer at the moment but the image just comes through the process with no change showing. Varying text size and position yields no difference. But drawing a square will appear on the same coordinates the text can be specified to render at. So I know position info is ok. I’ve also tried using the multiple actions option and the text tool won’t render with that either. I’m using a local install rather than the cloud for n8n.

Should be fine. Check the position and the font color maybe you will find something.

Thanks for your help guys. Still not working, it’s wee things like this you suddenly lose hours to!

Here’s a screen recording showing what’s happening:

Try to set the different fonts explicitly. It looks like the fonts are not available or incompatible so you can try some default fonts like below. Let me know if it solved your problem.

  1. FONT_SANS_8_BLACK
  2. FONT_SANS_8_WHITE

Thanks for that, yes I tried multiple fonts until I found one that worked. Many thanks for the help!
